澳大利亚--格里菲斯大学针对疫情信息更新

澳大利亚格里菲斯大学针对疫情信息更新如下：

covi-19为国际教育带来了巨大挑战，格里菲斯大学 2020年 trimester 2 的开学日期已从7月6日调整为7月13日，为目前的学生提供了一周的休息时间，以适应向在线授课的过渡。

社区和医疗服务部门一直在努力遏制covi-19在澳大利亚的蔓延，健康和安全问题一直存在，格里菲斯（griffith）将继续在2020年 trimester 2 提供在线课程，并计划尽快返回校园。到那时，将集中于那些难以在线教学的内容，包括一些实验室和实践课程。

通过在线课程交付在海外开始课程的学生可以选择注册全日制（40个学分）或兼读制（10-30个学分），以适应学生的个人情况。尽管学校鼓励学生考虑这将如何影响做出此决定时要为其计划制定学习计划。在 trimester 2 中，有少量课程无法启动，因为这些课程无法完全在线交付。

原文如下：

covi-19 has create enormous challenges for international eucation, an continues to have a significant impact on our stuents, on us as an institution, an on you, our agent partners. i appreciate your ongoing support through this perio of uncertainty an have been heartene by the rapi transition many have mae to igital engagement activities that enable stuents an their families to continue accessing quality information regaring future stuy options.

i am please to provie you with some clarity about griffith＇s plans for teaching in trimester 2, 2020 an our approach to managing commission payments.

the commencement ate of trimester 2, 2020 has been ajuste from 6 july to 13 july to provie one extra week of break for our current stuents as they ajust to the transition to online elivery, an to support ecision making for those stuents consiering future stuy with us. the university is upating its acaemic calenar to reflect this.

given there are ongoing health an safety concerns as the community an meical services strive to contain the sprea of covi-19 in australia, griffith will be continuing to eliver courses online in trimester 2, 2020, with a plan to return to campus as soon as it is safe to o so. at that time, there will be a focus on elivery of those components of teaching which are ifficult to eliver online, incluing some laboratory an practical elements of courses.

as there continue to be travel restrictions affecting travel to australia, we are please to be able to offer international stuents overseas, an those in australia, the opportunity to commence their stuies through online elivery, then transition to campus when possible. the university has focusse on ensuring that online elivery an assessment of courses continues to be high quality, engaging an interactive, an we are prou of the work our acaemic community is oing to achieve this.

stuents commencing their program offshore utilising online course elivery will have the option of enrolling full-time ﹙40 creit points﹚ or part-time ﹙10-30 creit points﹚ to suit their iniviual circumstances, although we encourage them to consier how this will impact the stuy plan for their program when making this ecision. a very small number of programs cannot be commence in trimester 2 as full online elivery cannot be accommoate for these programs.

we will be reissuing offers to stuents who have been mae offers for commencement in trimester 2, 2020, reflecting the new start ate an the university＇s plan to commence the semester with online elivery of courses. we will also be making offers to new applicants who wish to commence their stuies in trimester 2 through online elivery. we are working to aress questions regaring the assessment of school qualifications, recognising that the ates of school assessments in many countries have been ajuste, an to provie information regaring how coes an ohsc will be manage. we are also awaiting avice from the epartment of home affairs regaring the impact of commencing stuy offshore on access to post stuy work rights.

i am please to avise that we will assess agent commission on a pro-rata basis for stuent enrolment while offshore, base on iniviual enrolment. for example, if a stuent chooses to enrol in two online courses in trimester 2 2020, agent commission will be pai for these courses. once a stuent transitions onshore an unertakes full-time enrolment, we will pay the remainer of the commission we woul normally pay for enrolment in 80 creit points ﹙first year equivalent﹚, an we will reconcile this once the stuent has complete an appropriate number of trimesters. it is important that stuents are able to commit to an online stuy loa that they are confient they can manage, an we want to ensure you are not penalise if stuents choose not to commit to a full-time stuy loa.
