<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>As you are aware, the current study design=
is =0A=
closer to reaching its expiry date, and with this brings a range of matters,=
one =0A=
of which is the relationship between the units within the existing stud=
y =0A=
and those in the reaccredited one. </FONT></DIV>=0A=
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>=0A=
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Students who have enrolled in a VCE IT unit=
=0A=
<STRONG>cannot </STRONG>get credit in 2007 (or beyond) for undertaking =0A=
a comparable unit in the reaccredited study design. For example, if&nbs=
p;a =0A=
student is currently doing IPM they could <STRONG>not</STRONG> get credit fo=
r =0A=
doing IT applications. They could certainly enrol in IT applications, but it=
=0A=
would be treated as a repeat rather than a new set of units. The codes=
=0A=
for all of the IT units in the reaccredited study design are the same a=
s =0A=
for the current study. </FONT></DIV>=0A=
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>=0A=
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Also, on another matter. I am aware of some=
schools =0A=
that have included in their senior course selection booklets, descriptions o=

the current study rather than the new one. This is most unfortunate. If you=
are =0A=
in this situation, and need to make amends quickly, visit the VCAA website =
