	RESOURCES FOR CURRENT STUDENTS A NOTE ABOUT STUDY RESOURCES: It is important to buy study resources as soon as possible. As most students will be buying books and software remotely from suppliers or home universities, there are likely to be delays while licesences are arranged (for some software) and materials are posted or, in some cases, shipped. A NOTE TO CURRENT STUDENTS ABOUT CONTACT DETAILS : It is important that you immediately send contact detail updates to the BCA office and your unit coordinators. The BCA office has no direct link to student records at each university. Once we receive official class lists from postgraduate offices at home universities, advice that you register at your university will not filter through to us on an ongoing basis. You will need to send an email to unit coordinators and the BCA office, telling them about any changes to your enrolment or contact details. It is particularly important that we have immediate access to the email address that you regularly use (not necessarily you university provided student email) and current postal address.

BCA Student Blog The BCA is launching a student blog. Every two weeks a student or staff member will be writing a post on a topic related to BCA study, or issues delaing with biostatistics in the workforce. If you have an idea for a blog topic, or would like to contribute something, please email andrew.yip@ctc.usyd.edu.au . Upon Graduation... Students who have successfully completed their degree, diploma or certificate in biostatistics will graduate from their home university. Graduates receive official acknowledgement of their academic award from this university, ie the university in which they were enrolled and where their student transcript for the course is recorded. The BCA (represented by all consortium universities collectively) is proud of the achievements of its graduates and acknowledges this by giving a certificate and a letter of congratulations from the BCA Steering Committee to students who have received a (Post)Graduate Diploma or Masters degree. Star Graduates will receive additional acknowledgment in the letter and certificate. A Star Graduate is a graduate from the Masters or (Post)Graduate Diploma who has an overall average of at least 85%, and has achieved a mark of 85% or more in all, or all but one, units of study.
