It is a condition of enrolment that educators make themselves known before attending our lectures. If you are a teacher or tutor, please contact our office to obtain an Authorisation Pass. Mature age students will be required to show that they are enrolled at a school or provider of HSC studies when they register on the day of each lecture.

Theatre details have been provided on the back page of this document. Directional signs will be placed around the building(s) being used, to make it easier for you to locate your allocated theatre(s). What Do I Do Once I Get There? Please proceed to our registration desk and present the number that s located in the top right hand corner of your confirmation email. Please ensure that you have your confirmation email in YOUR HAND before it s your turn to register. This will ensure that queues move quickly and that lectures start on time.

A light jacket or jumper (some theatres tend to get quite cool) and your brain! Please don t forget to bring your Confirmation Email or photo ID. Can My Friends Turn Up Without Booking and Enrol on the Day? Your friends are welcome to enrol on the day of a lecture under the following conditions: They will not be able to attend the lecture if it has booked out and there are no spare seats in the theatre. The notes that we hand out to students are expensive to produce, so we usually don t print more copies than what s required. If there are no spare copies of notes available, but there are places available, your friends are welcome to enrol and attend the lecture, as long as they re happy to have their notes posted to them. Note that payments on the day of a lecture must be in the form of CASH or MONEY ORDER (from Australia Post). What Should I Do if I Can t Attend? You may collect the notes that correspond to your missed lecture(s) from our office after each enrolled lecture. You are welcome to call ahead so that we can prepare these materials for you. Note that our office hours are between 10am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. If you would like us to send you the notes that correspond to your missed lecture(s), please call our office on 9663 3311. A $10 postage and handling fee applies. Notes will be sent to students after each enrolled lecture. Miscellaneous Points Some lectures may not finish on time. Please allow up to 15 minutes after the advertised finishing time. If you do need to leave before the end of a lecture, please exit the theatre quietly and at your convenience. The use of recording devices is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Recording devices interfere with the microphones and send loud, high-pitched sounds throughout the theatre. Furthermore, recording without the lecturer s permission is ILLEGAL. Students caught recording will be asked to leave the theatre, and will have all lecture materials confiscated. NO refunds will be issued if this occurs. TSFX has exclusive rights to the materials that are distributed during the lectures.
