For the Accelerated Nursing Program (Enrolled Nurses) Only: All commencing students (Accelerated Nursing Program Entry) in identified subjects are required to undertake the OPELA at the beginning of each session to assess their English language proficiency. In order to communicate this to students, the Academic Language and Learning team have been in consultation with faculties, Legal and GSU / Policy to develop wording which outlines the purpose of the English language assessment. We have also consulted about the placement of this information in subject outlines.
