Downloading a Subject Outline in UTSOnline
Accessing your Subject Outline in UTSOnline *
To access the subject outline in UTSOnline, the subject site must be created, which happens in the weeks before formal classes begin. Read the subject outline carefully and keep it as a reference. Each subject outline provides vital information needed to successfully pass the subject, including the weekly lecture program, core reading lists, assessment requirements, and correct referencing protocols. It also lists the contact details and available consultation times for key academic contacts.
For instructions on downloading your Subject Outlines, refer to the slide below. If you are unable to find the Subject Outlines in your subject, please contact the Subject Coordinator or your faculty.
Click on the left and right arrows below to navigate through the slides. If you cannot see the arrows, please use the bullets located below the slides:
