A message from the Associate Dean (Students)

Welcome to the Faculty. I am sure that you will find your studies satisfying as well as rewarding. My job as Associate Dean is to coordinate all matters in relation to undergraduate students within the Faculty, which includes approving your choice of courses each year, monitoring the quality of teaching and dealing with any problems that you have not been able to resolve within schools. Degree regulations and course procedures can seem complex at first, but it is important that you take responsibility for your own programme of study. Start by familiarising yourself with the information that we have made available. This prospectus contains general information about the BCA, BBIS and BTM degrees, as well as conjoint and double degree programmes, and the Graduate Certificate and Diploma in Commerce and the Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting. Some checklists are included at the back of this Prospectus to allow you to see whether your proposed programme meets the requirements; other checklists will be made available at our Student Counters. If there is something that you are not sure about, make an appointment with your Student Adviser (see p.4 for contact details) to discuss your completed checklist. The ability to communicate clearly is vital in business and government, and we want that to be displayed by all our graduates. BCA students will receive a basic introduction to writing and referencing in the writing component of our FCOM 111 course, with the assistance of Student Learning Support (SLS), but it should not stop there clear communication will be a constant thread throughout our undergraduate courses, and all students should take every opportunity to improve their writing skills throughout our programmes. SLS may be able to assist here watch noticeboards for special courses that they run at certain times of the year. Section 5 contains basic information about our undergraduate courses: the trimesters in which they are offered, the names of the course coordinators, lecture times, assessment and textbook details as far as they are known. In addition, you will find there a statement of any relevant prerequisites, corequisites or restrictions. (For a brief description of the content, see the entry in the Guide to Enrolment or Online Course Catalogue.) Further important information about the courses that you enrol for will be provided in the course outlines made available during the first week of classes; read them thoroughly and keep for later reference. If you need further clarification, consult your lecturers or course coordinators. I hope that you enjoy your time as a student at VUW. You may not know many people at first, but lots of others are in the same position so dont be afraid to take the first step in approaching fellow-students. If you need advice, do not hesitate to ask staff, including
Colin Jeffcoat Associate Dean (Students)

2.
THE BCA DEGREE
Outline of the requirements

A BCA consists of courses worth at least 360 points in total (which will mean 24 courses for most students), with at least 180 at 200-level or above of which at least 75 must be at 300level; those courses can be separated into four different groups:
A: BCA CORE (7 courses) B: MAJOR REQUIREMENTS (6 or 7 courses) C: COMMERCE ELECTIVES (optional) D: ELECTIVES OUTSIDE COMMERCE (optional)
Core
All BCA students starting in 2010 must take these seven courses: ACCY 111 (Accounting), ECON 130 (Economic Principles and Issues), FCOM 111 (Government, Law and Business), INFO 101 (Foundations of Information Systems), MARK 101 (Principles of Marketing), MGMT 101 (Introduction to Management) and QUAN 102 (Statistics for Business), except that FCOM 111 may be replaced by COML 203 and one of PUBL 113/201/202; ECON 130 may be replaced by ECON 140 (students with Achievement with Excellence in NCEA Level 3 AS 90629, 90630, 90631 and 90632, will be permitted to enter ECON 140 directly). It would be sensible to take most of these courses in your first year, though conjoint degree students may need to delay some until second year in order to get started on their other degree. However, FCOM 111 should definitely be taken in the first year, since it includes a writing component providing referencing and writing skills that will be useful in other courses. Note: This new core does not apply to students who began the BCA before 2009. They may continue under the 2008 statute, which specified a three-course core (ACCY 111, ECON 130 and FCOM 110) and required students to include 300-level courses in two different subjects. However, they must complete the degree by the end of 2011.
Points changes
All BCA courses are now worth 15 points each, except for PUBL courses which are worth 20. Note: Students who passed courses when they were worth 18/22/24 points will retain the points originally received. Anybody who started the BCA before 2009 and ends up with 355-359 points because of the reduction in points values will be permitted by the Associate Dean to complete the degree despite that shortfall.
Commerce Majors
Every BCA programme must meet the requirements of at least one major subject, chosen from the list below. A second major is also possible within the usual 24-course degree, but a third major will generally require more than 360 points. Majors require at least 90 points worth of courses at 200-level or above in the relevant subject area. Note: Students who intend to major in Economics or Finance will need to include some Mathematics in their degree. That requirement can be met through either QUAN 111 or the combination of MATH 141 (or 142) and 151.
Commerce electives
The degree must include at least 210 points from the BCA Schedule. Many students will meet that target just through the core (105 points) and the requirements of a BCA major, but in some cases it may be necessary to choose one or two commerce electives from the list of courses in Section 5. Further electives may also be included to meet the overall points requirements for the degree: 180 points at 200-level or above, with at least 75 of those at 300-level.
Commerce minors
If your course of study includes courses worth at least 60 points at 200-level or above in a commerce subject area outside your major(s), including at least 15 points at 300-level, then the BCA will be awarded with a minor in that subject. That will give you some recognition for a supplementary concentration in that area.
Non-commerce electives
Alternatively, some electives can be chosen from the schedules of any other first degrees at Victoria. Note that points values vary from one subject area to another.
Outside majors
As well as having at least one major from the BCA list, you may add another major from those listed under the BA, BDI or BSc degrees by including in your programme the courses required for that major.

COURSE PLANNING Workload

We presume that you are to study full-time; if not, see the cautionary paragraph on part-time study in Section 7. For first-year students a standard full-time load in either of the first two trimesters would be 60 points (= four 15-point courses); the maximum load is 81 points per trimester, so if you are a high or middle-achieving NCEA student, i.e. you have mostly Merits or Excellences in your Achievement standards, you could consider doing five courses, as long as you are prepared to withdraw from a course if you find yourself over-committed. In the summer trimester, it is advisable to attempt at most three courses. If you have a good record then you may be permitted to enrol for a few points over the limit (contact the Associate Dean).
Choice of courses
A full-time first-year BCA programme will normally consist of all seven core courses plus one elective. Though it is not absolutely vital to include all of the core courses in Year 1, we recommend that you do so unless you are doing a double degree or a major that requires several 100-level courses outside the core to progress to 200-level. All BCA students will be required to include FCOM 111 in their first year, as that contains a compulsory writing component. Recommended first-year programmes for the different major subjects are as follows: Accounting Commercial Law Economics BCA core plus ACCY 001 BCA core plus one elective ECON 130, 140, QUAN 102 (or MATH 177); QUAN 111 (or MATH 141/142 and 151), FCOM 111, two or three other core courses e-Commerce BCA core plus INFO 102 Finance ECON 130, 140, QUAN 102 (or MATH 177); QUAN 111 (or MATH 141/142 and 151), FCOM 111, two or three other core courses Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations BCA core plus one elective
9
Information Systems International Business Management Mori Business Marketing Public Policy Taxation
BCA core plus INFO 102 BCA core plus one elective (perhaps a language/culture course) BCA core plus one elective BCA core plus one elective BCA core plus one elective BCA core plus PUBL 113 (recommended) or POLS 111 BCA core plus one elective.
Electives can be selected from the wide variety of 100-level courses offered by the Faculty (listed in Section 5) or elsewhere in the University. Refer to the Guide to Enrolment or the online Course Catalogue, or go to Information for Prospective Students on the Victoria University Web Page (http://www.victoria.ac.nz/home/undergraduate.aspx) to make your selection. If you need extra instruction or practice in writing English you should consider enrolling in WRIT 101 or, if English is not your first language, WRIT 151. Returning students intending to complete in 2011 under the old BCA statute should make sure that their programme includes a second subject (i.e. with a different subject label) at 300-level. Note that any student wishing to include 15-point 300-level courses in their major must have at least 45 300-level points in total if the old major required 48 points. Final-year students should verify that they will in fact finish their degree by completing a checklist (see Section 8); in particular, remember to take account of the changes in points values.
Balance
Make sure that your programme has a reasonable balance between the first and second trimesters; a programme with five courses in one trimester and only three in the other is not a good arrangement. Enter the selected courses in a table and add up the number of points for each trimester, dividing points for any two-trimester course by two. Delete or shift a course if either total exceeds the recommended trimester maximum of 80 points (40 in summer).
Double majors
Only one major is required in a BCA, but two (or even more) majors are possible. To plan a BCA with a double major, write down the seven core courses, then add what is needed to satisfy both majors. In most cases that will give you enough advanced courses for your degree; if not, pick more and construct a table of courses set out by trimester, making sure to include any necessary prerequisites. Note that 100 or 200-level courses that are common to two different majors can be used for both, but 300-level courses may generally be counted towards just one BCA major. Thus, COML 308 may not be counted towards a Commercial Law major if it is being used for a Marketing major.
If in doubt, ask for advice

Seek advice from the SAS, designated school advisers or the Associate Dean (Students), but do take along a plan of your programme, plus a completed checklist (obtainable from the Ground Floor Reception counter in Rutherford House or Easterfield 121, also see Section 8 of this Prospectus).
CONJOINT AND DOUBLE DEGREES

It is possible (and very desirable for your job marketability) to combine a commerce degree with a second undergraduate qualification, e.g. another FCA degree or a BA, BSc or LLB, in a conjoint or double degree programme. The amount of study involved is less than that required for two separate degrees, because you can count some points towards both degrees. The most economical approach is to take the two degrees as a conjoint programme, which means studying both areas simultaneously and maintaining a B minus average or better in
order to stay in the programme. A conjoint programme combining the BCA or BTM with another three-year degree consists of courses with a total value of at least 540 points, with at least 360 at 200-level or above of which 150 or more are at 300-level. That would be possible for an able student in four years of full-time study, though the length of time may be dependent on when vital courses are offered. First-year entry to a conjoint programme is unrestricted, but continuation requires the maintenance of at least a B- average each year, and likewise students transferring into the programme must have a B- average or better. Note: It is not possible to enter a conjoint degree programme if you have already completed either degree. The overall programme must include all courses required for each of the two separate degrees, i.e. the BCA core and at least 210 points from the BCA Schedule if the BCA is involved, or all compulsory TOUR courses and Part 2 commerce electives for the BTM, and satisfy any major subject requirements where those are specified. The remaining courses may be chosen from any first degree schedule. A conjoint programme should be attempted only by students with good previous academic records who are willing to accept high workload and the long period of study involved. The alternative is to finish one degree first and then do the other one as part of a regular double degree. In future, that will generally mean doing a minimum of 60 additional points (at least one extra trimester) as compared to the conjoint. Students who embarked on a double degree programme before 2011 will, however, be permitted to complete under the old regulations which allowed 160 points to be cross-credited between the two degrees. (See the section on checklists below.) Conjoint BCA/BSc programme Students who started a BCA/BSc conjoint programme before 2010 will be permitted to complete under the old statute which required a total of 510 points, as long as they do so by the end of 2012. Those who started from 2010 on come under the new conjoint regulations, which will mean a total of 540 points. Conjoint BCA/BTeach programme The conjoint BCA/BTeach is a four-year programme combining commerce study with preparation for a teaching career (primary or secondary). However, it is now closed to new students, and only those returning students who were accepted into the BCA/BTeach before 2011 will be permitted to enrol in the programme. (Any other student wishing to combine commerce study with teacher training is advised to complete the BCA first and then do a teaching diploma. For more information, ask at the Student Recruitment and Course Advice in Hunter Building for the Teacher Education booklet.)
Checklists for conjoint or double degrees

Checking whether your programme will complete a conjoint or double degree is quite straightforward, since it is just a matter of making sure that it meets any necessary core, schedule or major requirements for both degrees (with no 300-level course used towards major requirements for both degrees) and includes (a) (b) (c) enough points at 200-level or above enough points at 300-level (or, in some cases, above) enough points overall
If you want to see whether your current selection of courses will complete a conjoint degree (e.g. BA/BCA, BCA/BSc, etc.), complete a checklist available from the FCA SAS Office. (Some checklists are included in Section 8 at the end of this Prospectus.) These checklists
11
can be used for old conjoint and double degree programmes (started before 2011) as well as for the new conjoints from 2011 on.
Note: Students wishing to check a double degree programme started in 2011 or later should complete a checklist for the second degree, crediting 120 points from the earlier degree.
GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN COMMERCE

Once you have had a BCA conferred you may not add other majors to it, even if you subsequently complete the requirements. The Associate Dean (Students) or the Manager, Student and Academic Services, can write you an official letter stating that you have completed the requirements of that extra major, but it is not formally part of your BCA. If you have already completed a commerce or other degree and want to embark on a new area in Commerce, then a better option may be to do a Graduate Diploma in Commerce (GDipCom) as that gives you an additional qualification. The Diploma requires 120 points at 200-level or above, including at least 75 points at 300level. Specialisations will be awarded in any of the BCA major subject areas (Accounting, Commercial Law, e-Commerce, Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations, Information Systems, International Business, Management, Mori Business, Marketing, Public Policy and Taxation) if your programme includes all of the advanced courses required for the major. (In the case of Accounting, that will mean more than 120 points, unless some of those courses have been covered in your previous study.) Specialisations are also available in Public Management and Tourism Management, with these requirements: Public Management PUBL 202, 302 Three further courses, at least two of which are at 300-level, from (PUBL 205, 206, 300-399, MGMT 200-399, ACCY 307 or approved alternatives) Tourism Management TOUR 240; either TOUR 230 or 250 TOUR 301, 345, 380, 390*
* One of these may be replaced by an approved 300-level course.
Note: (i) 100-level prerequisites may be waived for GDipCom students on account of their academic maturity as graduates; consult with the relevant school adviser/course coordinator to discuss this possibility and gain approval. (ii) If you have already passed for some other qualification any of the courses required for a specialisation, then you may replace them with other courses of at least the same points value and at the same level or higher.
Alternatively, if you are a graduate but the courses that you want to take do not fit any of the above specialisations, then it is still possible to count them towards a GDipCom as long as the combination meets these conditions: there are at least 120 points at 200-level or above, with at least 75 of those at 300-level (or above); the combination has been approved by the Associate Dean (Students) as a coherent programme of study. (Seek that approval before you take the courses!)
GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN COMMERCE

This is an alternative qualification, also open to graduates, which only requires 60 points (all at 200-level or above with at least 30 of those at 300-level or above). Specialisations as
listed above for the diploma will be awarded if all of the courses come from the relevant subject area.
GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING

This is a two-trimester qualification designed for students needing an extra year of study after completing a BCA to meet the academic requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA). However, completion of the diploma under any statute does not of itself guarantee satisfaction of NZICAs requirements. Students needing advice on which courses to include should check with the School of Accounting and Commercial Law (see the 2011 SACL Prospectus or go to the School website www.victoria.ac.nz/sacl/ ) or NZICA. (See also the discussion under Accounting in Section 6 of this Prospectus.)

These sample programmes presume that all courses are worth 15 points (except for BBIS 489, which is 30) and that timetabling allows the combinations of courses selected.
PLANNING YOUR FIRST-YEAR BBIS PROGRAMME

A standard full-time programme for your first year of study is 120 points over two trimesters. Good students, however, may be able to cope with more than that, as long as the workload is balanced between the two trimesters. You should include the first four Part 1 core courses (ACCY 111, INFO 101, INFO 102, MGMT 101) in your first-year programme, as your entry into the second year of the BBIS will be decided on the basis of your performance in those courses. You may also wish to include the remaining Part 1 statistics course (QUAN 102 or STAT 193). Your choice of courses for the rest of your first-year programme will depend on your interests and your goals. You might like to consider the following: If you are undecided between a BCA and BBIS or want to keep your options open, you could include the other BCA first year core courses, ECON 130, FCOM 111, MARK 101. The concentration that you choose may include one or more first-year courses, and you may decide that it works best for you to take them in your first year. For example, if you intend to complete a Marketing concentration it makes sense to take MARK 101 or if you plan to do a Computing concentration, taking COMP 102 and COMP 103 in your first year would be worth considering.

THE BTM DEGREE

The BTM consists of three parts, with a total points value of at least 360 (typically 20 or 21 courses). Part 1 consists of six compulsory Tourism courses at 100 and 200-level and a 300level practicum, plus a selection of three Tourism electives at 300-level. Part 2 contains five Commerce courses (three at 100-level and two at 200-level), while Part 3 comprises the remaining 90 points (either five or six courses) required to complete the degree. More specifically, the requirements for the three parts are as follows: Part 1: TOUR 101, 104 and 108 TOUR 230, 240 and 250 TOUR 320 and three further courses from TOUR 300-399 Part 2: Three courses from ACCY 111, COML 111, ECON 130, INFO 101, MARK 101, MGMT 101, QUAN 102, and two courses from ACCY 223, COML 203, ELCM 211/251, HRIR 201, IBUS 201, INFO 201/221/321, MARK 203/204/214, MBUS 203, MGMT 202/205/206, PUBL 201/207, QUAN 201. Part 3: At least 90 points from further courses selected from the BCA or BTM schedules*, including at least 15 points at 200-level or above. * For the complete list of BCA courses see section 5 of this Prospectus or the VUW Calendar. Part A of the BTM schedule contains all TOUR courses, while Part B consists of all courses in the BA schedule with the following labels: ANTH, ASIA, CHIN, DEAF, ENVI, EURO, FREN, GEOG, GERM, HIST, ITAL, JAPA, MAOR, PASI, POLS, SAMO, SPAN or other approved courses from that schedule.
Thus courses for Part 3 may be chosen from any of these groups: TOUR courses not already included in Part 1, BCA courses listed but not already selected under Part 2, the complete BCA schedule (not just those listed for Part 2), the selection of BA subjects listed under Part B of the BTM Schedule, or other BA subjects, subject to approval by the Director of the Undergraduate Tourism Programme.

OFFICIAL SCHOOL COMMUNICATIONS

Official notices of the School are usually posted on Blackboard. We may also communicate with you via your ITS email account.
ACCOUNTING
Accounting is often referred to as the language of business, and is a vital aspect of business throughout the world - from securing finance for a new business, helping the business prepare fair and accurate reports of profit and business activity and advising on how best to manage revenue and costs, to listing on the share market. As firms and financial markets become global, accounting and accounting qualifications have become even more international. Accounting is also a fundamental element in helping government and not-forprofit sectors deliver their goods and services. To study accounting you need to be comfortable with numbers, but you also need to be able to communicate - written and interpersonal skills are just as important as numeracy. No previous study of accounting is presumed, however studying towards any profession, including accounting, is never going to be without challenge. The hard work will be well rewarded, financially and otherwise, as you progress in your career. ACCY 111 (Accounting) is a compulsory first-year core subject for a Bachelor of Commerce and Administration (BCA). From there, Victoria accounting courses offer expertise in all aspects of the subject starting with the key knowledge areas required by accountants in todays business environment: financial and management accounting, auditing, taxation, accounting information systems and commercial law. Other areas of advanced study in accounting include accounting history, accounting theory, financial statement analysis, international accounting, public sector accounting and critical perspectives in accounting. Students are also required to demonstrate an understanding of the principles and practices of bookkeeping. This understanding is tested through the compulsory ACCY 001 (Bookkeeping) course. Employment prospects for graduates in accounting are wide ranging. All organisations of moderate and larger size require the services of an accountant or chartered accountant. Positions requiring a thorough knowledge of accounting include auditors, business analysts, business planners, cost accountants, credit controllers, financial accountants, financial planner, and management accountants. Students electing to study accounting should complete a BCA majoring in accounting. For those wanting to become professional accountants, Victorias BCA degree in accounting is currently accredited by four professional accounting bodies: New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA). CPA Australia. Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), UK. Subject to reaccreditation being approved Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA). Subject to re-accreditation being approved Those interested in becoming Chartered Accountants should consider extending their studies to meet the academic requirements to qualify for admission to the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA) CA College. We offer several alternative paths for meeting those requirements (ways 1-4 presuming that required courses are included). These are: 1. a BCA in Accounting with a Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting; 2. a BCA in Accounting with a second undergraduate degree; 3. a BCA in Accounting with a BCA(Hons) degree;
4. a BCA with a Graduate Diploma in Commerce (Accounting specialisation); or 5. a Bachelors degree with a Master of Professional Accounting. The academic requirements for the NZICAs CA College have been reviewed twice since 2005. There are now three different sets of academic requirements, the one you need to follow depends on when you began your degree. a. New academic requirements introduced effective 1 January 2010. All students who begin their studies after 1 January 2010 must complete under the 2010 requirements. b. Academic requirements introduced effective 1 January 2007. All students who began their studies after 1 January 2007 can complete under the 2007 requirements or transition requirements (as detailed on the NZCIA website). c. Academic requirements in force before 2007. Students who began their academic study prior to 1 January 2007 may choose to complete either under the 2006 academic requirements or the newer requirements. For more information on these academic requirements see the SACL prospectus, the School website (www.victoria.ac.nz/sacl/) or contact NZICA. Further information about the Institute is available on their website, www.nzica.com. Students can meet the academic requirements of CPA Australia in three years as part of a BCA majoring in accounting. Information about CPA Australia can be found on their website www.cpaaustralia.com.au. A BCA with a major in accounting provides some exemptions from the requirements of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). Exemptions can be gained for CIMAs Certificate in Business Accounting level papers and one of the managerial level papers. Information about CIMA can be found on their website, www.cimaglobal.com. Please note that this accreditation is currently undergoing a review and may not apply to students who start in 2011. A BCA with a major in accounting provides exemptions from the requirements of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA). Exemptions can be gained for the fundamental level courses (F1-F9). Information about ACCA is available on their website, www.accaglobal.com.
Further information regarding study at Victoria to meet the academic requirements of the accounting professional bodies can be found in the School of Accounting and Commercial Law Prospectus and on its website, http://www.victoria.ac.nz/sacl/ Honours study in Accounting Students wishing to undertake the Honours programme in Accounting should first complete a BCA with a major in Accounting.

COMMERCIAL LAW
The law affects all business activity. Whether dealing with customers, suppliers or employees, or protecting the physical and intellectual assets of your business, it is essential that business people have some knowledge of the appropriate legal issues. An understanding of commercial law and its operation will aid both those who make business decisions and those who advise others on business decisions. Commercial law: enables students to read and understand laws relevant to business made by Parliament, and the Court decisions on the application of those laws; equips students with the tools to recognise the legal implications of business activities; and provides students with an understanding of the policies that drive legal developments within a commercial context. The School offers a range of courses in commercial law that can substantially broaden your understanding of other areas of commerce that you may be focusing on in your study. These include contracts, which are an essential element of every business transaction, the laws underpinning various options for structuring your business or company, the law relating to employment and human resource management, legal issues for e-commerce, marketing law and competition law, law for the banking industry and the laws relevant to international trade. The commercial law major should ideally be taken in combination with a major from another subject. In addition to Accounting, popular subjects to combine with Commercial Law include e-Commerce, Finance, Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations, Marketing, Management, Public Policy and Taxation. Commercial Law is required for the accounting and taxation majors and the academic requirements of the accounting professional bodies. Students wishing to major in Accounting, Taxation or Commercial Law or meet the accounting professional body commercial law requirements should begin with COML 203. It is designed to give an overview of the legal system and the nature of law, and covers such topics as the New Zealand legal framework, and legal issues concerning the business community including contracts, torts, and negligence. COML 203 provides students with the appropriate background and skills to enter other COML papers. An alternative more general introduction to Commercial Law is provided by COML 111. This course is designed to give students an appreciation of legal issues concerning business enterprises including the formation and management of business entities, employment law, intellectual property and fair trading, anticompetitive trade practices, issues in tax law and the law relating to e-commerce. It is suitable for students wanting a single course on the legal issues encountered by business enterprises. It can also be used as a prerequisite for some 300-level COML papers. Positions in the commercial sector which often require a thorough knowledge of commercial law include public and corporate accountants, auditors, company secretaries, directors/managers, consultants and financial advisers. Honours study in Commercial Law While there is no dedicated Commercial Law Honours programme, it is possible to add Commercial Law Honours courses to any of the BCA(Hons) programmes offered by the Faculty. For more information, see the School website www.victoria.ac.nz/sacl/
58
TAXATION
The impact of taxation is a key aspect of financial and corporate decision-making. No person or business wants to pay more tax than they have to; therefore it is essential that they have some knowledge of the taxation issues they face. Due to its unique location alongside the pillars of the New Zealand tax system (Parliament, Treasury, the Inland Revenue Department and the courts) the School is able to offer a range of up-to-date taxation courses that will broaden your understanding of domestic and international taxation. Areas covered include personal and corporate income tax systems, GST, international tax law, double tax treaties, policy development and administrative practices. Students wishing to major in Accounting or Taxation or meet the accounting professional body taxation requirements should begin with TAXN 201. This course is designed to give an overview of tax concepts, the evaluation of tax cases and the application of tax concepts to everyday business activities. TAXN 201 provides students with the appropriate background and skills to enter 300-level taxation courses. Many positions in the commercial sector require a thorough knowledge of taxation. These include accountants, business advisors, business owners, financial planners, tax administrators, tax consultants, tax law drafters or tax policymakers. Honours study in Taxation While there is no dedicated Taxation Honours programme, it is possible to add Taxation Honours courses to any of the BCA(Hons) programmes offered by the Faculty. For more information, see the School website www.victoria.ac.nz/sacl/

ECONOMICS
Economics is a social science, which focuses rigorous argument and thought on many of the major choices facing a modern society. It aims to achieve a clearer understanding of how organisations, firms, markets and national and global economic systems work. Topics include the study of different types of markets, the determination of incomes and employment, income distribution, resource allocation, international trade, inflation and business cycles and the effects of government policies. Economics provides a foundation for careers in many fields including accounting, business, marketing, management, public policy, and finance. You can major in Economics for a BCA or BA degree. It is an excellent complement to professional subjects such as Law, Accounting, Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations, Marketing and Management, as well as other social and natural sciences, Philosophy and Applied Mathematics. Employment opportunities for graduates can be found in business, financial institutions, government, education and international agencies. Successful economic analysis is both an art, acquired gradually through practice, and a science, requiring quantitative sense and skills. To develop these skills students advancing in Economics must study both Mathematics and Statistics at introductory level, and are encouraged to carry them through to higher levels. Previous NCEA Study ECON 130 is the first course introducing students to economic principles and is the prerequisite for ECON 140. However, any student who has attained Achievement with Excellence in at least three of NCEA Level 3 AS 90629, 90630, 90631 and 90632, may be exempted from ECON 130 and advance directly to ECON 140. Mathematical and Statistical Requirements The learning of Economics is greatly facilitated by some competence in mathematical and statistical ideas and techniques, and for that reason some Mathematics and Statistics is recommended to all students for whom Economics is the major subject of their degree. As a rule, students advancing in Economics should do at least one Mathematics course and at least one Statistics course. Mathematically able students advancing in Economics are encouraged to include additional mathematics and/or statistics courses in their degree. For advice on how to do that, speak to Dr Burnell. Whether you intend doing just the bare minimum or more, it is vital that you plan this aspect of your degree at an early stage.
61
Mathematics If you are planning to major in Economics (or study it at 300-level) and you have a reasonable Maths background from secondary school, then you are advised to take QUAN 111 in your first year. QUAN 111 was designed to cover the algebra, calculus and financial mathematics needed for further study in Economics. If you are not very good at Maths (or have forgotten all you ever learned), then you should take MATH 132 before doing QUAN 111. Alternatively, if you are good at Maths and plan to take the more mathematical Economics courses (ECON 201 and 314) or advance in Mathematics, then you could replace QUAN 111 with the pair MATH 142 and 151. That pairing provides a good foundation for 200-level Mathematics courses and is accepted in place of QUAN 111 for the ECON and FINA major requirements. Statistics At least one course in Statistics is compulsory for students wishing to major in Economics. The most appropriate course for those wishing to do just one Statistics course is QUAN 102, since it has numerous applications to Economics, but STAT 193 will also be accepted. (Other possible substitutes will be considered individually) For students who want to combine more Statistics with Economics, two alternative possibilities are (A) QUAN 102, 201, 203, ECON 301, or (B) STAT 131, 232 (or 233), QUAN 201, ECON 301 Students planning to do MCA or BCA(Hons) or MA or BA(Hons) in Economics must include a second Statistics course in their BCA or BA programme, since QUAN 203 (or a substitute acceptable to the Postgraduate Coordinator) is a prerequisite for entry to these graduate Economics programmes. Pathways through a BCA degree If you intend enrolling for a BCA, you may be aware that the degree includes a core consisting of seven courses: ACCY 111, ECON 130, FCOM 111, INFO 111, MARK 101, MGMT 101 and QUAN 102. In order to progress through an Economics major, students should take ECON 130, ECON 140, QUAN 102 and QUAN 111 (or Statistics and Mathematics equivalents) in their first year. We also strongly encourage BCA students to take ACCY 111 and FCOM 111 in their first year (ACCY for quantitative skills acquired and FCOM for literacy skills). This means that two courses can be chosen from INFO 111, MARK 101 and MGMT 101 to take in the first year, with the remaining core course left till later years without any disruption to majoring or prerequisite requirements. Planning for Honours or Masters Study in Economics Prerequisites for BCA(Hons) or BA(Hons) in Economics (ECON) (a) (b) (c) (d) ECON 201, 202 ECON 305 or 314 QUAN 203, or two of (STAT 232, 233, MATH 243, 251) One of (QUAN 201, ECON 301, ECON 303, FINA 304, STAT 292)
Graduate students in other subjects may proceed to an Honours degree in Economics by satisfying the requirements of a Graduate Diploma in Commerce with a specialisation in Economics.
62
ECONOMETRICS Please note that Econometrics is no longer a listed major within the BCA degree, but courses with econometrics content are still very relevant towards majors in Economics or Finance as well as outside majors in other degrees i.e Statistics, Mathematics. Econometrics is the branch of economics concerned with the empirical estimation of economic relationships. Econometrics uses economic theory, data and statistical theory, as refined into econometric techniques, to measure and test empirically relationships between economic variables, and to make forecasts based on the estimated relationships. The econometric approach is also a valuable skill in many other areas of commerce (including marketing and accounting) and the social sciences; and can be used whenever the aim is to give empirical content to theoretical reasoning. SEF staff are involved in wide-ranging areas of research including environmental economics, labour market research, dynamic games, forecasting, the behaviour of macroeconomic variables, catastrophe insurance and insurance claims modelling, analysis of stock prices and returns and consumer demand models. Courses are taught under the QUAN label at 100 & 200-level, and start by covering basic material in mathematics and statistics with applications in the commerce area. The basic statistical techniques are introduced in QUAN 102. The basic mathematical requirement for studying Econometrics is QUAN 111, which also prepares students for 200-level study in Economics or Finance. If your mathematics background is weak (no maths beyond year 11 or fifth form) or in need of revision, you should consider taking MATH 132 first and then QUAN 111. Students with a good grasp of mathematics could take MATH 141/142 instead of QUAN 111. After 100-level, regression modelling in econometrics is introduced in QUAN 201, and the core econometric methods and theory are further developed in QUAN 203 and ECON 301. Students who intend to study Econometrics should also consider taking courses that cover more specific techniques and issues in forecasting (QUAN 202), financial econometrics (FINA 304) and/or applied econometrics (ECON 303). Students are also encouraged to take as much 200-level Economics, Mathematics, and Statistics as can fit into their study programme: ECON 201 and 202, MATH 243 and 251, and STAT 232 (or 233) are particularly useful. Honours Study in Econometrics Postgraduate courses in Econometrics (ECON 408, 409) are offered as part of the BA or BCA Honours programmes in Economics. FINANCE An understanding of financial markets is essential for understanding a modern economy. There are four broad areas to finance: financial securities, financial institutions, financial decision-making by firms, and portfolio choice. Equities, bonds, futures contracts and options are the basic financial securities that are analysed in FINA courses. The classic financial institution is a bank, which accepts deposits and issues loans. Financial decision-making by firms principally comprises the choice of investment projects, the financial securities that are issued in order to finance them, and the dividend policy that distributes the proceeds to investors. Finally, individuals must choose the securities they wish to hold. This then leads to the matter of how the prices of financial securities are determined and how individuals' savings are allocated to firms' investment projects. Previous NCEA Study Economics provides the intellectual foundation for finance. ECON 130 is the first course introducing students to economic principles and is the prerequisite for ECON 140. However, any student who has attained Achievement with Excellence in at least three of NCEA Level 3
63
AS 90629, 90630, 90631 and 90632, may be exempted from ECON 130 and advance directly to ECON 140. Mathematical and Statistical Requirements Finance is a mathematically-oriented subject. The minimum mathematical requirement for the major is QUAN 111 (or the combination of MATH 151 with either MATH 141 or MATH 142). The statistical requirement is QUAN 102, but either STAT 131 or 193 will be accepted in its place. However, additional courses in mathematics and statistics beyond these minimum specifications will be very beneficial, particularly QUAN 203. Students should contact Dr Burnell for advice. Combining Finance with Economics or Econometrics courses Courses in microeconomics are helpful in understanding the ideas presented in FINA courses. Courses in econometrics teach skills useful in implementing these ideas. Some courses in macroeconomics (especially those covering monetary economics) are also directly relevant. Pathways through a BCA degree If you intend enrolling for a BCA, you may be aware that the degree includes a core consisting of seven courses: ACCY 111, ECON 130, FCOM 111, INFO 111, MARK 101, MGMT 101 and QUAN 102. In order to progress through a Finance major, students should take ECON 130, ECON 140, QUAN 102 and QUAN 111 (or Statistics and Mathematics equivalents) in their first year. We also strongly encourage BCA students to take ACCY 111 and FCOM 111 in their first year (ACCY for quantitative skills acquired and FCOM for literacy skills). This means that two courses can be chosen from INFO 111, MARK 101 and MGMT 101, to take in the first year, with the remaining core course left till later years.

PUBLIC POLICY
Public Policy is a field of study that is sometimes defined as what governments do and do not do. It concerns itself with why governments are necessary and how they can be made more effective. Why must a winning political party share power with a losing one? Why build more prisons instead of schools? Why let teenagers vote if they are not yet allowed to drink? Why support a war if its real purpose is hidden? All of these are questions that are the concern of Public Policy.
65
The social problems covered by Public Policy are of a wide variety. Some are political. Others are economic, social or environmental. As such, Public Policy brings a number of different disciplines into play. Among them are Political Science, Economics, Philosophy and Law. The insights of these disciplines and the practice of using them in different situations make for a stimulating and well-rounded education. Graduates in Public Policy are sought after by government offices and by non-government organizations because of their strong analytical skills, their creativity, and their understanding of political institutions and processes. An understanding of government policies and processes is also essential for individuals working in commerce and the not-for-profit sector. For more information see our website: www.victoria.ac.nz/sog

INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Computers are to Information Systems what telescopes are to astronomy. The subject of Information Systems focuses on the use and application of computer technology (or
67
information technology) in business and society. There is a decided emphasis on the interface between technology and people. Basic computer literacy is required in every job nowadays, and a solid understanding of the capabilities of Information Systems is essential for all management positions. Modern business strategies frequently consist of knowing how and where to use information technology and knowledge management techniques to create innovative business opportunities. Graduates who can demonstrate an understanding of Information Systems are highly valued in the job market. COURSES FOR THE INFO MAJOR

Systems Implementation
Information Systems (INFO) courses do not require extensive mathematics knowledge. INFO 101 is the general introduction to Information Systems in organisations. Students are introduced to the different types of information technology (IT) available, how and why it is employed, and the ways IT-based systems can be developed. Students learn how to develop simple database and Internet applications, but no programming is required. The other first year course is INFO 102 (Business Applications Programming); this practical course is an introduction to programming for business. Three 200-level INFO courses further explore the nature of information system development and the use of information systems technologies. INFO 201 (Introduction to Information Systems Management) provides an overview of issues facing information systems managers. INFO 232 (Business Systems Analysis) covers the process of information systems development including systems analysis and design. INFO 241 (Introduction to Database Management and Programming) looks at how information is organised and stored in databases. All Information Systems majors take both first year and all three second year courses to give them a solid knowledge of both the theoretical and technical aspects of the subject. The 300-level courses introduce students to real-world business situations. All students take the capstone course INFO 395 (Case Studies in Information Studies) which brings the whole major together and places it in a live business context. INFO 301 is a study of the strategic organisational and environmental issues facing IT managers. INFO 321 (Principles of Project Management) introduces students to the concepts of managing projects in a business environment. INFO 320 provides the opportunity to apply what has been learned from
previous INFO courses to an industry-based project. INFO 322 (Information Systems Implementation) looks at the human and organisational processes involved in the implementation of an information system. INFO 325 covers both the practical and management implications of telecommunications and networking technologies. INFO 332 (Advanced Systems Analysis) shows how to use sophisticated analysis tools to determine information requirements in an organisation. INFO 341 (Advanced Database Programming) teaches students how to design and build advanced database applications. Students wishing to emphasise practical systems development skills and knowledge to design, develop and maintain information systems may wish to include a selection of courses from INFO 320, 322, 325, 332 and 341. This emphasis would support those wishing to pursue a career in systems development, including applications programming, business analysis, and systems design and implementation. Alternatively, students may wish to focus on a managerial and organisational view of information systems, with a selection of courses from INFO 301, 321, 322 and 325. This emphasis would support those wishing to pursue a career in consultancy or business management, or to pursue further post-graduate study.
COMMUNICATIONS STUDIES
When employers specify what skills they want graduates to have, communications skills are always near the top of the list. In order to make an impact in any organisation, effective communications skills are essential. The Communications Studies courses are designed to provide an understanding of how communication works within organisations, how new technology and the Internet are affecting communications and how to improve your personal communications skills. The courses have a strong practical component but also cover the theoretical foundations of communications and examine current research in the area. Communications Studies at Victoria focuses on business communications, covering theory and practice at the interpersonal, organisational, national and international levels. Advanced courses also cover technology developments in communications. COMM 101 is an introduction to communications and information management. It develops skills in using a wide range of electronic resources, such as databases, intranet and extranet services, and multimedia. COMM 201 focuses on human communications and technology. It introduces the theoretical aspects of communications and examines communications in language, the old mass media and new technologies. After COMM 201 students can go on to take MGMT 308 Organisational Communication. In the BCA degree, Communications Studies fits well with Information Systems and eCommerce studies, and is also integrated with parts of Management. MDIA 101 (Text and Images), MDIA 102 (Media, Society and Politics) and WRIT 101 (Professional Writing) are Humanities and Social Sciences courses which complement Communications Studies.
e-COMMERCE
The fastest growing area in modern business is e-Commerce: the application of Internetbased systems to improve standard business processes, and to create totally new ways of doing business via the internet. e-Commerce is being adopted by organisations worldwide, and demand for graduates with skills in this area is expected to continue rising for the foreseeable future. e-Commerce topics include: the impact of e-Commerce on traditional management systems supply chain management business-to-business and business-to-consumer transaction relationships legal and social implications of new business methods challenges to ideas of security and privacy internet marketing and data warehousing

Our e-Commerce courses address these and other issues, and aim to give students an understanding of what e-Commerce is, how it works, why it works, and where it is going. ELCM majors start with INFO 101 (Foundations of Information Systems), which includes a
general introduction to e-Commerce, and INFO 102 (Business Applications Programming), which is an introduction to business programming. In the second year students take ELCM 211 (Foundations of e-Commerce), ELCM 251 (Introduction to Internet Design) and INFO 241 (Introduction to Database Management). In the third year all students will take the capstone course ELCM 395 (Case studies in eCommerce) and two further 300-level ELCM or related courses. Students wishing to emphasise practical systems development skills and knowledge can select from ELCM 351 (Advanced Internet Design), 353 (Internet Development Environments) and 320 (Project in eCommerce). Alternatively, students who wish to focus on a managerial view of e-Commerce, including organisational issues can select ELCM 311 (Advanced Topics in e-Commerce) and INFO 321 (Principles of Project Management). The wide-ranging nature of e-Commerce makes it an ideal subject to combine with others in a double major. The ELCM/INFO double major is particularly popular. Other useful majors to combine with ELCM include Accounting, Commercial Law, Management and Marketing.
Summer courses
The School of Information Management typically offers INFO 102 over the summer. Full details are provided on the school website http://www.victoria.ac.nz/sim/

MARKETING
Marketing is a central business discipline that seeks to match up the strengths and offerings of a firm or organisation with the needs and expectations of customers and client groups, to assist in the selling of products and services locally, nationally, and globally. Marketing is a practical, career-oriented, and professional major that requires analytical skills, logic and creativity. Students who decide to major in Marketing learn about the distribution of goods and services, consumer behaviour, pricing, channels of retail and wholesale distribution, advertising, sales, market research, and marketing management. Other topics you are likely to encounter include market segmentation and targeting, effective customer service, new product development, database-driven customer relationship management, and internet marketing. Upon graduation, many marketing majors find jobs in brand and product management, customer service, consulting, market research, advertising and sales. If you want to work in a marketing department, you should expect to start in sales where you can really get to know a
company's products and its customers very well. In fact, starting in sales is often the best way to groom yourself for a challenging position in marketing. Marketing can be pursued as a major in its own right, or used to enhance skills gained in a number of other specialisations including International Business, Accounting, Economics, eCommerce, Management and Law. Students from the arts and sciences are also encouraged to enrol for courses in Marketing so as to foster a customer perspective and complement knowledge and expertise already gained in another discipline. Such students with appropriate studies in relevant disciplines will be considered by the Undergraduate Programme Director for direct entry into advanced Marketing courses. Professional marketers are in steady demand within New Zealand and internationally, with good prospects for the foreseeable future. Students considering a business startup or involvement in some form of entrepreneurial activity would get a lot of value out of studies in marketing. The foundation introductory course is MARK 101. This is followed by compulsory courses MARK 201, 202, 203, 301, 302 and 303. Students majoring in Marketing need to select one further course from 300-level Marketing electives or COML 308. Honours or Masters Study in Marketing Graduates who have not majored in marketing may proceed to an honours degree in Marketing by completing a Graduate Diploma in Commerce (Marketing) with good grades, especially in the 300-level courses. If you are not sure whether you are suited to a career in marketing or international business, then visit the VUW Career development site and check out Career Planning Links at: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/st_services/careers/index.aspx
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
International Business is concerned with the context and conduct of doing business across national borders. It ranges from export-import trade to a consideration of joint ventures and strategic alliances, technology transfer, foreign direct investment and the workings of transnational firms. Its recent prominence as an area of study reflects the increasingly global nature of business. Courses in International Business are ideally suited to complementing other areas of study. A major in International Business will lead you to use your business skills in a global context. Your studies will include logistics of international trade, assessing market entry strategies and investments made in foreign markets, international strategy and international management. Career opportunities include roles in the business sector, in government and policy areas and (with further study) in academia. As part of your studies in international business you will gain different perspectives on many aspects of trade and commerce. Knowledge of other cultures is crucial to being successful in International Business the requirement to pass a foreign language or cultural studies course for the IBUS major should enhance your attractiveness to employers. The programme also offers scope for undertaking an international business project which provides an opportunity to gain some practical experience. Honours or Masters Study in International Business Students contemplating Honours or Masters level study are advised to talk to school staff as soon as possible about the appropriate mix of BCA courses to be undertaken in preparation for postgraduate work. Graduates who have not majored in International Business may meet the entry requirements for honours in IBUS by completing a Graduate Diploma in Commerce (International Business) with good grades, especially in the 300-level courses.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations (HRIR) is a multidisciplinary area that investigates all dimensions of employment relations in the public and private sector. Modern organisations increasingly regard staff as their most valuable asset, and as their chief source of competitive advantage. Consequently, they attach great importance to how they manage people. The successful management of employment relations is vital if employees are to be motivated and organisations are to be successful. HRIR fits well with the study of management, marketing, information systems, and economics, and provides a strong complement to the acquisition of professional qualifications such as law, accounting, architecture and nursing where people management skills, though often overlooked, are of vital importance. BCA graduates in HRIR find work in management and administration generally, and as human resources or industrial relations managers and trade union officials. HRIR is also important for those planning careers in the public sector, including policy advice roles in the Department of Labour and the State Services Commission, as well as the growing area of industrial relations/human resource management throughout the wider state sector. Graduates will be involved in a wide range of responsibilities including recruitment of employees, performance management and remuneration, salary negotiation, bargaining, conflict resolution, job design, training and development, and communication. Education in human resource management and industrial relations will be an advantage to a career in any aspect of business.
MANAGEMENT
The common aim of undergraduate courses in Management is to provide the student with a broad base of fundamental knowledge of management and managing, regarded as a process and function in organisations, and to develop certain basic problem solving analytical skills, and critical thinking. Managing is conceived as an activity and process common to human effort in large and small businesses across all sectors, commercial, industrial, government and non profit organisations. Employment opportunities exist in a variety of careers in business and government enterprises. These include banking, insurance, tourism, manufacturing and processing, retailing, state-owned enterprises, government departments and management consultancy. In such careers graduates use their general understanding of both the management process and the behaviour of people in organisations. Management students also acquire more specialised skills in areas such as strategy and business policy, operations and services management, human resource management, organisational behaviour, innovation and decision making.
75
Managing is a human activity, which involves both people and analytical skills. Students will benefit from social science courses in subjects such as Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology, as well as Marketing, Economics, Accounting and Finance. We encourage a multicultural perspective; languages such as Japanese or Mandarin are useful in a management career and can be incorporated into a BCA or BCA/BA. Management courses are well complemented by other courses taught in the Faculty such as Marketing or Information Systems, or by courses from the Science Faculty, either as part of a Management Science major within a conjoint or double degree BCA/BSc programme, or more generally as electives in a BCA.
MORI BUSINESS
Mori business has become a major contributor to the New Zealand economy. The return to Mori of significant resources through the treaty settlement process and the further development of strategic investments have created a demand for administrators and managers who have a sound understanding of the dynamics of Mori business. While traditionally strong in land-based industries, Mori business has expanded to cover all aspects of the economy including tourism, IT, technology, fisheries and related businesses in the service sector. Excellent career opportunities exist for those who have the specific skills necessary to administer and manage areas of Mori business within todays public and private sector organisations. Mori Business courses offered at Victoria are concerned with the resource base, organisational structures and values, statutory requirements and management practices of Mori enterprises, since they have unique features. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the legislation, regulations and practices involved in Mori business is essential for anyone wanting to develop business opportunities with iwi. The introductory course is MBUS 201, deals with Mori resources and how they can be used effectively. MBUS 202 deals with Mori authorities and organisations and MBUS 203 with small businesses, particularly those that are owned or administered by Mori. Two 300-level courses, MBUS 301 (The Treaty Settlement Process) and MBUS 302 (Advanced Management of Mori Resources) complete the Mori Business offerings. All five courses are required for a major in Mori Business, along with MGMT 101 and two MGMT electives, one at 200-level and one at 300-level.
TOURISM MANAGEMENT
Tourism Management staff offer TOUR courses as part of the BTM degree. These are also available as electives for a BCA. (See section 4 of this Prospectus for more details.) Summer Courses All summer courses are offered subject to sufficient demand and availability of resources. Full details of these courses are available on www.victoria.ac.nz/summer/ For more information see the School website www.victoria.ac.nz/vms/

7. GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES Academic Restrictions

A BCA student who has failed a course twice needs the approval of the FCA Associate Dean (Students) to enrol for it again. Third attempts are granted only with good cause, and permission may be subject to a reduction in study load to allow extra time to be devoted to the course concerned. Apply in writing, setting out the reasons why you think your previous attempts were unsuccessful and indicating changes in your personal circumstances that suggest you will do better next time. Include in the letter your full name, student number, postal and e-mail addresses, and a contact telephone number. (If your reasons relate to sensitive personal matters that you do not wish to set down in a letter, you should make an appointment to discuss the situation.) Students who have failed more than 50% of the points attempted over two consecutive trimesters may be restricted to a reduced workload until their performance improves. Contact the Associate Dean if you want to discuss having a restriction removed.
Advice
For general advice concerning your BCA, go to the Student and Academic Services (SAS) Reception counter on the Ground Floor of Rutherford House. The staff there will either deal with your problem or refer you to the relevant person.
Aegrotats
If your performance in an exam or in any item of assessment falling within the last three weeks of a course is impaired by illness, injury or some other special circumstances, then you may apply for consideration under the aegrotat provisions (see the Assessment Handbook on the VUW website for details). Applications should be made within seven days of the exam or due date of the assessment; if you need advice, ask to speak to the Exams Coordinator. Note that supporting documentation will be required; in the case of illness or injury affecting an exam, that must include a certificate completed by a health professional based on a consultation within 24 hours of the exam (before or after).
Note: If illness or other special circumstances affect your performance in an assessment item due before the last three weeks, speak to your course coordinator straight away.
Changes of Course
If you wish to make any changes to your initial enrolment, you may be able to do so on-line. Otherwise, pick up a change of course form from the SAS Reception counter. That form can be used for a wide variety of changes, including addition of (or withdrawal from) a course, change of address/degree/major, or complete withdrawal from the university. To be processed the form requires your signature plus the date (just below the Declaration statement). If wishing to add an FCA course, first check the prerequisites. Prerequisites are there to indicate appropriate preparation for the course, and you may not add a course unless you have either passed the prerequisite(s) or will do so before the course starts (or the School has waived the prerequisite). You should also check the restrictions: enrolment in a course for which you have already passed a course listed as a restriction is prohibited, unless you are given special permission by the Associate Dean (Students). Approval to add a course after classes start may be denied if there is insufficient room, or if the Associate Dean considers that you have missed too much of the course.
77
Note: If you have been accepted provisionally into a course subject to passing a prerequisite and you fail the prerequisite, then your status in that course will automatically be changed to DE (= Denied Entry), unless the School informs the SAS Office of a waiver of the prerequisite.
Withdrawals from an FCA course do not require a signature from the course coordinator. Just put a line through the course you are dropping, sign the form and hand it in at the SAS counter. Do make sure though that you are not dropping a prerequisite for a course you want to take later on, or losing full-time status, which may cause visa difficulties for international students or result in the loss of a student loan. You may withdraw without penalty during the first two weeks of a first or second trimester course, but after that you will not receive a refund of tuition fees. It is not usually possible to withdraw from a course after the point (see the date shown in the course outline). However, if you had been making satisfactory progress in a course until forced to abandon it by medical or other personal circumstances , then the Associate Dean may permit you to withdraw late. Fill in a late withdrawal application at the SAS counter, supplying supporting evidence of your situation. Just dropping out without withdrawing officially means a fail grade which could disadvantage you later on (see Academic Restrictions).
Compensation Passes
The Associate Dean (Students) deals with this matter at the end of each trimester. Students for a BCA, BBIS or BTM degree, or the GDipCom or GDipProfAcc, who are one course short, having failed that with a D or K grade in their final year, may be offered a compensation pass if they have a B- average or better either in the rest of that years courses (having passed at least 90 points that year) or over the whole degree. Normally a compensation pass will not be given for any course needed to meet the minimum 300-level requirements for a degree or diploma, or the 300-level requirements of a BCA major. If you think you qualify and want to make sure that you will be considered, contact the SAS Office.
Computing Requirements
Some courses detailed in this prospectus may require students to use computers and the Internet, and assume students are able to use word processing, email and the world wide web. All enrolled students receive a computer username and password (details are printed on Confirmation of Study forms) and a free email address which is used for all official electronic correspondence. Students may personally re-set their student email to re-direct to another email address if preferred. For more information please visit the website www.myvictoria.ac.nz
Deadlines for Assessment

Most courses have assessment items due on particular dates which are stated in the course outlines. If you do not hand in your work on time, do not be surprised if you are given a zero: meeting deadlines is important in the commercial world. It is not a valid excuse to say that you had two items due at the same time, as you are expected to note at the beginning of each trimester when work is due and plan accordingly. (Some lecturers may be willing to grant extensions for good reasons, but you must ask before the deadline, not afterwards).
Disabilities
If you suffer from any kind of disability, you should talk to Disability Services as early as possible about special arrangements to help you in your courses. The Faculty provides a
special facility exam area for those students in need. For more information, consult the booklet Disability Services available from Student Services.
Evaluations
Teaching staff are encouraged to conduct evaluations at the end of each course. These provide opportunities for students to comment on course content and administration. Staff are expected to take notice of feedback from student evaluations.
Exams
Exam timetables are normally published after the mid-trimester break. If you are enrolled in a course with a exam, then you have an obligation to be available to sit that at Victoria at any time during the relevant exam period. In 2010 these are: 10 June 29 June and 21 October 12 November. Under exceptional circumstances it may be possible, given sufficient advance notice, for special arrangements to be made for sitting in another location. Note that having made conflicting travel plans does not constitute grounds for granting such requests.
Grievances
Students who consider that they have an academic grievance should discuss the matter with their tutor, lecturer or course coordinator. If satisfaction is not obtained, they should contact the Head of the School responsible for that course. Problems may be discussed at any stage with class representatives, the student representatives on the Faculty Board, the VUWSA Education Organiser, the Associate Dean (Students) or the Student Counselling Service.
Mandatory Course Requirements

To pass a course you must obtain a course mark of at least 50%. Many courses have additional requirements that students must meet; these may involve obtaining a minimum mark in a test or exam, or carrying out some specific tasks, like attending a minimum number of tutorials. Failure to meet all these will mean you fail the course, even if your course mark is 50% or more (in that case you get a K grade, still a fail). Mandatory requirements will be spelled out, along with other important information, in the course outline circulated to students in the first two weeks of lectures. It is your responsibility to obtain a copy of the outline and read it thoroughly.
Part-time Study
If you are planning to study part-time, take our advice and begin slowly! Do not rush in and try to do too much in your first trimester. It is better to start with a modest load and increase that only if comfortable passes are obtained. Studying part-time is not easy jobs have a way of becoming more demanding just when that essay or test is coming up, and many parttime students will have other commitments which are likely to impede their academic progress. In addition, part-time study leaves few opportunities for significant participation in the life of the University.
Reconsiderations
If not satisfied with your final grade for a course, you can request a reconsideration of your exam script (or other late assessment item for which the marks were not released until after the end of teaching). Apply to the SAS with the required fee before 31 August/31 January/30 April for courses offered in the first/second/third trimester.

Transfers from other degrees

Entry to our undergraduate programmes is not currently limited, so students who have started another degree at Victoria may freely transfer into a commerce degree. Courses passed for the other degree can usually be used towards the new programme.
Vic OE (Overseas Exchange for Victoria students)

As a Victoria University student you have the chance to complete part of your Victoria degree at a world-class institution overseas while paying domestic fees. Victoria has exchange agreements with a number of universities in other countries, including Canada, Greece, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Tahiti and the United States. Under these agreements it is possible to spend up to a year overseas taking courses that will be credited to your degree. (Note that 300-level courses for any BCA major should normally be taken at Victoria unless authorisation is given by the School and approved by the Associate Dean (Students) or Faculty Manager.) Vic OE students are expected to meet their own travel/living expenses, but are eligible for StudyLink loans and allowances. Victoria International will provide some grant funding to all successful applicants. For more information please visit the website www.victoria.ac.nz/international/study-options/study-abroad.aspx

8. DEGREE CHECKLISTS
These are intended as guides, not as official confirmation that your programme is complete.
How to check your BCA programme*

If you want to know whether your selection of courses will finish off a BCA, complete a checklist like the one on the following page. Enter each course (once only!) in a box appropriate to its level and column appropriate to its schedule as follows. In the BCA column, tick off the seven compulsory courses. If an exemption has been given for any of the compulsory courses, show that by putting a tick next to it, but count the points only if that much transfer credit was given. Otherwise, substitute the amount of transfer credit awarded. Thus if an exemption has been awarded for COML 203 with a credit of 15 100-level points, enter 15 points in the 100-level box (identify it as COML 100) and tick off COML 203 for any major requirements. In the appropriate box of the BCA columns, enter other courses from the BCA schedule, i.e. those listed in Section 5. (Include any transferred credit from external study where that has been given a commerce subject label.) Calculate the points total for each of the BCA boxes and sum down to get A, the total number of BCA points. That should be at least 210. Enter courses from other schedules, and any non-commerce transferred credit from external study, in the appropriate level boxes in the Other column. (Any student who has completed a previous VUW degree should enter a credit of 120 points in the 100level box of the Other Schedules column.) Calculate the points total for each of the boxes in that column and sum down to get total B. Sum the column totals A and B across to get the grand points total C. (That must be at least 360.) Sum across the points totals for the boxes at each level to get D, E, F. (F should be at least 75 and E + F at least 180. In practice, that usually means at least twelve 200/300-level courses including at least five at 300-level.) Check that the programme meets the major requirements for at least one BCA subject area. Note that no 300-level course may be counted towards more than one major subject. When all courses have been entered, double-check conditions 1-6. (Note that adding D, E and F gives an independent check on the grand points total C.) This checklist applies to students completing under the current (2009) BCA Statute. (If completing under an earlier statute, ask at an FCA Student Counter for the relevant checklist )

How to check your conjoint BA/BCA or BCA/BSc programme*

If you want to know whether your selection of courses will finish off a conjoint programme combining a BCA with a BA or BSc degree, complete a checklist like the one on the following page. Enter each course (once only!) in a box appropriate to its level and column appropriate to its schedule. Enter courses from the BX (i.e. BA or BSc) schedule in the left-hand column, in the box appropriate for their level Calculate the points total for each of the BX boxes and sum down to get A, the total number of BX points. A should be at least 240. In the first BCA column, tick off the seven compulsory courses. If an exemption has been given for any of the compulsory courses, show that by putting a tick next to it, but count the points only if that much transfer credit was given. Otherwise, substitute the amount of transfer credit awarded. Enter other courses from the BCA schedule, i.e. those listed in Section 5, in the appropriate box of the BCA columns. (Include any transferred credit from external study where that has been given a BCA subject label.) Calculate the points total for each of the BCA boxes and sum down to get B, the total number of BCA points. That should be at least 210. Enter courses from other schedules, and any non-commerce credit from external study, in the appropriate level boxes in the Other Schedules column. Calculate the points total for each of the boxes in that column and sum down to get C. Sum the column totals A, B and C across to get the grand points total D. (That must be at least 540.) Sum across the points totals for the boxes at each level to get totals E, F, G. (G should be at least 150 and F + G at least 360.) Check that the programme meets the requirements for at least one BCA major subject and at least one BXmajor subject. Note that a 300-level course may not be counted towards more than one major subject. When all courses have been entered, double-check conditions 1-7. (Note that adding E, F and G gives an independent check on the grand points total D.) Check whether you qualify for any minors (not compulsory). Check with the relevant faculty that all of the BX requirements have been met. This checklist applies to students starting a BA/BCA conjoint from 2011 on or a BCA/BSc conjoint from 2010. Students who began a BCA/BSc conjoint in 2009 or earlier should use the old BCA/BSc conjoint checklist available from an FCA Student Counter. (If finishing off a double degree or embarking on a different conjoint programme, ask staff for the relevant checklist.)

How to check your conjoint BCA/LLB programme*

Beyond the LAWS courses needed for an LLB, the programme must include at least 270 additional points, of which at least 180 are advanced (at 200-level or above) with at least 75 of those at 300-level. Enter each course (once only!) in a box appropriate to its level and column appropriate to its schedule as follows. In the LLB column, tick off the compulsory LLB courses (LAWS 121, 122, 123, 211, 212, 213, 214, 297 and 301) and list twelve 300-level LAWS electives. Enter any extra 300-level LAWS courses in the Supplementary box underneath the LLB Electives box, and sum their points to get the total A. (Do not include points for LAWS courses in the first two boxes.) In the BCA column, tick off the BCA core courses and enter other courses from the BCA Schedule (as listed in Section 5). Calculate the points total for each of the boxes in the BCA column and sum down to get B, the total number of BCA points*. (At least 210 such points are required.) Enter courses from schedules other than the BCA and LLB in the Other column. Calculate the points total for each of the boxes in that column and sum down to get C. Sum the column totals A, B, C across to get the points total D for all but the compulsory LAWS courses. That value must be at least 270 (cf. 290 in the case of a double degree started in 2009 or 2010.) Check that the programme meets the major requirements for at least one BCA subject area; list any minors. Sum across the BCA and Other columns (plus the Supplementary LLB box) to find the points totals E, F, G for each level. When all courses have been entered, double-check conditions 1-4. (Note that adding E, F and G gives an independent check on the points total D.) Check with the Law School that all of the LLB requirements have been met. This checklist applies to students doing a conjoint programme under the current BCA and LLB statutes. If you began the BCA or LLB before 2009, consult the Commerce and Administration Student and Academic Services Office and the Law School.

How to check your BTM Programme*

If you want to know whether your selection of courses will finish off a BTM degree, complete a checklist like the one on the following page. Enter each course (once only!) in a box appropriate to its level and column appropriate to its schedule. Tick off the seven required TOUR courses (101, 104, 108, 230, 240, 250, 320) in the BTM Schedule column. Enter three 300-level TOUR courses (other than 320) in the 300-level BTM box.

Enter in the 200-level box of the BCA Schedule column two of the following 200-level Commerce electives: ACCY 223, COML 203, ELCM 211 or 251, HRIR 201, IBUS 201, INFO 201 or 221 or 321, MARK 203 or 204 or 214, MGMT 202 or 205 or 206, PUBL 201 or 207, QUAN 201. Note: If you have an exemption from one or more of the possible electives, but have not been credited with the corresponding points, then you may need to do another course of equivalent or higher points value. Enter further electives, either from the BCA Schedule or the BTM Schedule (which includes all TOUR courses and also ANTH, ASIA, CHIN, DEAF, ENVI, EURO, FREN, GEOG, GERM, HIST, ITAL, JAPA, MAOR, PASI, POLS, SAMO, SPAN or other approved courses from the BA Schedule. Note: Some of these may need to be at 200-level or above to meet the requirement of 180 advanced points. When all courses have been entered, check conditions 1-3. (Note that adding D, E and F gives an independent check on the grand points total C.) * This checklist is intended for students starting a BTM in 2009 or subsequently. (If you started the BTM in 2008 or before, then you may continue under the previous statute ask for the relevant checklist at an FCA Student Counter. Alternatively, you may use this checklist enter the points values as they were when you passed them rather than their current values.

How to check your GDipProfAcc Programme*

Note: Completion of a BCA and GDipProfAcc no longer guarantees satisfaction of NZICAs academic requirements, though that pair of qualifications will continue to be a convenient vehicle for courses taken to meet those requirements. Both the BCA and the diploma have been through a number of changes over the last few years, so you need to follow the combination of requirements that are right for your period of study. To see whether your overall programme will complete a GDipProfAcc, Check that your BCA is complete, using the appropriate BCA checklist, depending on whether you started your BCA (a) before 2009 (obtain checklist from the FCA Student counters) or (b) from 2009 on (use the checklist at the beginning of this section of the Prospectus). Then enter courses not included in your BCA checklist in the appropriate Diploma boxes on the checklist below. Sum points down for the diploma boxes to get totals A and B at 200-level and 300-level, respectively, and then sum across to get the diploma total C. When all courses have been entered, check conditions 2-3. * This checklist applies to students completing a GDipProfAcc programme under the current (2010) statute. Students who began their commerce study before 2009 should ask staff at either of our Student Counters whether the relevant checklist is available.
