The Graduate Certificate in Information Systems requires all students to enrol in subjects where they will require:

Assessment may include the outcomes of tasks completed in collaboration with other students.

Students who feel their disability will impact on meeting this requirement are encouraged to discuss this matter with the relevant Subject Coordinator and the Disability Liaison Unit: http://www.services.unimelb.edu.au/disability/
