Inherent requirements
- Western Sydney University strongly supports the right of all people to pursue studies.
- The University embraces diversity and endeavours to accommodate all students.
Inherent requirements are the essential components of a course or unit that demonstrate the abilities, knowledge and skills to achieve the core learning outcomes of the course or unit.
Students with a disability or chronic health condition may be able to have reasonable adjustments made to enable them to meet these requirements.
Western Sydney University is committed to making reasonable adjustments to teaching and learning, assessment, placement and other activities to enable students' to participate in their course. Reasonable adjustments must not fundamentally change the nature of the inherent requirement.
Consideration is given to a student's cultural and religious background/beliefs, which may impact on participation in their course or unit. For further information contact your Director of Academic Program.
To successfully complete a course at Western Sydney University, you need to be able to meet all the inherent requirements. If you are applying for a course, you should read the inherent requirements carefully to ensure you are able to meet them. If you have a disability or chronic health condition, contact a Campus Disability Advisor to talk about the adjustments that may be put in place so you can meet the requirements.
