Clemente Canberra, a free-of-charge university program offered by the
Australian Catholic University in partnership with St Vincent de Paul
Society, is now enrolling students into the two mainstream Clemente
university programs for 2013, the Certificate in Liberal Studies Program
and the Pathways (bridging) Program. Please see details below.
Students must be 18 or over, and priority is given to those who have
suffered trauma or major setback in their life caused by mental illness,
disability, addiction, unemployment, homelessness, family breakdown, and
other such disadvantage.
All Clemente Canberra Programs are free-of-charge except we ask that
students provide their own pen and exercise book/paper for taking notes.
We also ask that the students get themselves to and from the Australian
Catholic University. Tuition, morning tea, lunch, study materials,
textbooks and so on, are all provided free-of-charge by the St Vincent
de Paul Society.
There are only 25 places available on each of the two programs and as a
significant number of people have already enrolled, it is important that
prospective students, or their representative, contact the Clemente
Canberra Coordinator, Robyn Keech, as soon as possible.

THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Certificate Program runs for the full 12 weeks of the university
semester. Students in this program are fully-enrolled university
students at the Australian Catholic University.
To graduate with a Certificate in Liberal Studies students must complete
four units of study. Since we study one unit per semester, those who
pass the unit each semester, will take two years to complete the
Certificate.
The units offered in the Certificate Program are all humanities
subjects: Literature, History, Art, Drama, Communication, Ethics, Media,
Philosophy, Australian Studies, Politics, Nutrition, Sociology, and so
on. The unit of study for Semester I, 2013 is ENGL102: Australian
Literature - An Introduction. The lecturer for this unit is Dr Charlotte
Clutterbuck.
We meet on Friday of each of the 12 teaching weeks of the semester. We
commence with morning tea at 10am, followed by class from 10.30 - 12.30,
followed by lunch from 12.30 - 1.30. Students are expected to attend the
1-hour tutorial session after lunch from 1.30 - 2.30. Certificate
students are free to leave after the tutorial.
There is formal assessment in the Certificate Program and students are
expected to submit all assignments on time and to complete all class
work, homework and reading, as directed by the lecture in charge of the
unit.
THE PATHWAYS PROGRAM
Like the Certificate Program, the Pathways Program runs for the full 12
weeks of the university semester. It is a little more relaxed than the
Certificate Program and is for those people who are not quite ready to
become a fully-enrolled Certificate student.
In this program we study Learning for Today & Tomorrow (I) in Semester 1
and Learning for Today & Tomorrow (II) in Semester 2. The Pathways
lecturer for Semester I, 2013, is Dr Maureen Boyle.
The Pathways Program helps students to develop the various generic
skills needed to be a successful student in the Certificate Program.
Some Pathways students go on to study in the Certificate Program but
others choose to stay in Pathways for some time.
We meet on Friday of each of the 12 teaching weeks of the semester. We
commence with morning tea at 10am, followed by class from 10.30 - 12.30,
followed by lunch. Students are free to leave after lunch.
There is no formal assessment in the Pathways Program but students are
expected to complete all class work and homework and to participate in
all activities, as directed by the Pathways lecturer.
************************************************************************
*******
Every effort is made to match all Clemente students with a volunteer
Learning Partner from the wider community. Learning Partners are
required to have a university degree or similar (or be currently
studying towards a degree or similar) and it is their job to assist the
student with their assignments and other activities associated with
study, and to provide encouragement as needed. It would be expected that
students meet with their Learning Partner, out of class, for about 1
hour per week.
Students who withdraw from, or do not successfully complete, two
consecutive units of study in the Certificate Program are required to
meet with the Clemente Coordinator to discuss their progress. Successful
participation in the Pathways Program for at least one semester may be
required before returning to the Certificate Program.
