Why are mandatory check closing dates so important?
CQUniversity are responsible to ensure that students comply to mandatory checks prior to any WIL placement. Students are responsible for the costs, planning and gathering their evidence on time and submitting it on a regular basis for verification by the WIL Compliance team in the lead up to the closing date. WIL placements are not free for universities and the WIL team have negotiation and cancellation windows that must be adhered to. This means that the WIL team need to know if you plan to undertake placement by viewing your enrolment status into the unit of study (that has a WIL placement) and that you are eligible for this placement by achieving mandatory checks compliance by the designated closing date. Students who have not completed mandatory checks will not be eligible for placement. This means that ineligible students must withdraw from the unit of study and re-enroll when the unit is offered again which is likely to cause delays to course progression and completion. Students who have difficulty completing mandatory checks at any time, should contact the WIL Compliance Team immediately on 07 4930 9124. Please also refer to the CQUniversity Work-Integrated Learning Policy and Procedure.
