Message from the Dean

I warmly welcome you to the Faculty of Dentistry. Yourentry into this Faculty will provide you with an excitingundergraduate program and the prospect of achallengingand rewarding career. Your course requiresthe development of procedural skills to achieveappropriatestandardsinpreclinical subjects and clinicalpractice. Coursework in the clinical sciences is built ona foundation of basic and biological sciences and youwill commence your practical clinical experience in thefirst year. Your final year is designed to match as closelyas possible, a comprehensive practice experience withminimal clinical supervision. As well, in the final year,clinical experience will be broadened to further equipyoufor practiceby rotations to other hospitals associatedwith the University of Sydney.

Your undergraduate program takes place on threelocations: your basic and biological sciences trainingis on campus at the University of Sydney; yourpreclinical training takes place at the United DentalHospital of Sydney, one of our teaching hospitals; andyour clinical trainingis split between our two teachinghospitals, the United Dental Hospital of Sydney, andWestmead Hospital Dental Clinical School. Your firsttwo years on campus will allow your early clinical andpreclinical experience to take place at the UnitedDental Hospital, and the senior clinical years (fourthand fifth years) will be completed at WestmeadHospital Dental Clinical School.

Dentistry is a noble profession, closely linked withmedicine but independent from it and yourundergraduate course is designed to prepare you tocommence clinical practice following graduation andregistration. Your entry into dentistry and yourtraining as a health careprofessional place a great dealof responsibility on you for the delivery of appropriateclinical treatment and for the care and management of

your patients' well-being. They will have trust in yourtechnical and clinical skills and your ethical and moralstandards, and the responsibility that rests with youin each of these areas requires special understanding,caring and sensitivity.

Your course will cover technical, clinical and ethicalaspects of dental practice and your competency ineach of these areas will allow you to confidentlymaintain appropriate standards of health care. As agraduate of the University of Sydney you will have aprivileged role in the community.

Your course is designed to equip you to meetchanging community needs. Such changes have had aprofound impact during the last 20 years, independentof the refinements of dental instrumentation andergonomic clinic design, and reflect much more thebiological basis of dentistry and a move from atechnology-based discipline that was previously thebackbone of dental practice. As well, the improvementsin community oral health have followed increasedawareness of preventive oral health measures. Theemphasis on preventive care in practice and thefluoridation of reticulated water supplies has led tothe virtual elimination of dental caries. Managementof carious lesions in such mouths when they do occur,is a relatively simple procedure and medicalmanagement of the early carious lesion both for adultsand children has dramatically changed the work loadof clinical practice. The emphasis on preventive dentalcare, on management of the occlusion of the teeth anddealing with orofacial dysfunction and jaw musclepain, is now an increasingly important component ofdental practice. The use of new restorative materialsand the exciting development of predictable implantmanagement have further developed dentistry toequip itself well for the demands of the 21st century.

The exciting developments in undergraduateeducation are matched by challenging continuingeducation opportunities. There is a need to continueto keep abreast of changes that arise as a result ofimproved oral health care and research into dentaldiseases. The Faculty offers a comprehensive varietyof continuing education courses, diploma coursesand higher degree training in research and the clinicalspecialities. I recommend these to you as the ideal wayto maintain clinical and ethical standards and to keeppace with the changing face of dentistry.

Please take the opportunity to seek the guidance ofFaculty staff and the Dean's office should you haveany concerns during your undergraduate course andI wish you well in your studies and future careers.

Degrees and diplomas in the FacultyTheFacultyof Dentistryprovideseducationalprogramsat both the undergraduate and postgraduate level.These courses prepare the students for the generalpractice of dentistry, specialisation, research, teaching

• or dental administration. There are two undergraduatedegrees, the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery(BDS) and the degree of Bachelor of Science (Dental)(BSc(Dent)). There are three master's degrees, the degreeof Master of Dental Surgery (MDS), the degree ofMaster of Science inDentistry (MScDent) and the degreeof Master of Dental Science (MDSc). The Faculty alsooffers the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) andDoctor of Dental Science (DDSc), the Graduate Diplomain Public Health Dentistry (DPHDent) and the GraduateDiploma in Clinical Dentistry (DipClinDent).

The degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery enablesgraduates to practise dentistry and is the academicevidence required by the Dental Board of N.S.W. forregistration as a dentist.

The degree of Bachelor of Science (Dental) is aresearch degree undertaken during or after thecompletion of the BDS degree.

The field of dentistryThe goal of the dental profession is the optimal oralhealth of the individual and the community, by theprevention of oral disease and the treatment of thosediseases and abnormalities that cannot be prevented.The dental profession is an integral part of the healthteam in the community and has the specificresponsibility for orofacial tissues and their functionand a joint responsibility with the other healthprofessions to integrate dental and oral health into thetotal health care of the community.

This responsibility involves consideration of boththe patient as an individual and as a member of thecommunity. In the modern dental curriculum,community dentistry is playing an ever increasing role.

Dentistry as a professionThere is an increasing scope of activity for dentalgraduates. The control of dental caries and thelessening of needs for routine restorative dentistry inthe younger generation, as well as rapid advances inresearch and prevention over the last decade, haveallowed dental graduates the opportunity to carry outmore sophisticated and specialised dental treatment.The increasing availability of postgraduate trainingmakes the entry into specialised practice more readilyavailable and the growing level of communityawareness of the significance of oral health, togetherwith a feeling of confidence in preventive measures,allows a higher standard of dental health care to beprovided for the community.

The emphasis on community health aspects andthe development of the social responsibility of theprofession are also influencing the nature of dentalpractice and re-orienting attitudes of both theprofession and the community to oral health and thevalue of preventive and treatment services.

General dental practiceRegistered dental graduates may practise as generalpractitioners and provide dental care for their patientsin a private practice situation. They may also practisegeneral dentistry in an institution, governmentinstrumentality or in the armed services. Most dentistsare in general practice.

SpecialisationDentists may undertake programs of advanced studyand research to prepare themselves for specialisedpractice. Some of the areas of specialisation areorthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oralmedicine, periodontics, dental public health,prosthodontics and paediatric dentistry.

Dental graduates may restrict their practices to oneof the areas of specialisation or may, after taking ahigher degree or additional qualification, emphasiseand develop an area of specialised interest withingeneral practice.

ResearchThe essence of professional and university activity isthe development of knowledge in the total field thatthe profession encompasses.

Research in dentistry is the basis of progress, notonly in understanding human biology and pathology,but also psychology. It embraces every aspect of thebasic sciences, clinical practice and the behaviouralsciences in their relationship to the production of oralhealth and its maintenance.

There are increasing opportunities for research inoral health science. Generally graduates will have toundertake higher degree programs to fit them for acareer in both research and teaching.

TeachingWith the expansion and development of dental schoolsand the increasing numbers of students, the tendencyis to rely on full-time specially trained staff membersin teaching, rather than upon part-time teachersrecruited from the ranks of the profession.

The teaching of dentistry provides a most interestingcareer, for it necessitates a combination of the academicand practical aspects of dentistry approached on thehighest possible level.

Institutional dentistryEvery hospital or clinic providing a dental healthservice must employ a number of graduate dentists.Many find that working within the structure of suchan organisation is both interesting and rewarding andthe new graduate, in particular, may welcome theopportunity of further experience in hospital work.

Armed servicesIn time of peace, as well as in war, the Navy, Army andAir Force each maintain a dental health service. Thedentist commences with a commissioned rank.

School Dental ServiceFor those interested indental work limited to treatmentfor children, the School Dental Service offers manyopportunities. With the extension of public healthprograms, this service has been significantly expanded.

The Dentists ActThe practice of dentistry in N.S.W. is governed by theDentists Act 1989, and by the regulations madepursuant to it. Copies of the Act and regulations maybe obtained from the Office of the Government Printer,Sydney. The administration of the Act is vested in theDental Board of N.S.W.

It is illegal to perform any operation or give anytreatment, advice or attendance such as is usuallyperformed or given by dentists unless registered bythe Dental Board of N.S.W.

Any person who proves to the Board to be of goodcharacter shall be entitled to be registered as a dentistif he or she is:(a) a graduate in dentistry of any university in

Australia or of a dental college affiliated with auniversity of Australia; or

(b) qualified in any of the ways set out in Section 10of the Act.

Students undertake their training at both the UnitedDental Hospital and Westmead Hospital DentalClinical School.

United Dental Hospital of SydneyThe United Dental Hospital provides:(a) clinical and technical facilities for the instruction

of dentistry students;(b) dental treatment for patients who are holders

of Health Cards or those referred for specialistcare;

(c) facilities for the Institute of Dental Research.

Dental Clinical School, Westmead HospitalThe Dental Clinical School is part of WestmeadHospital. It provides:(a) clinical and technical facilities for the instruction

of dentistry students;(b) dental treatment for patients who are holders

of Health Cards or those referred for specialistcare.

Aboriginal Medical ServiceThe Aboriginal Medical Service is an out-patient healthcare unit for Aboriginal patients from all over Australiawho, for a variety of reasons, do not make use ofconventional health services. The Service has beenaffiliated as a teaching institute of the University of

Sydney. It has a dental clinic that offers studentstraining in preventive dentistry in particular. It alsoprovides excellent opportunities to conduct follow-up treatment and clinical practice in a communitysetting and to gain clinical experience of the dentalproblems of a major ethnic group.

Institute of Dental ResearchThe Institute of Dental Research, which occupies mostof the seventh floor of the United Dental Hospitalperforms a wide variety of functions. The Institutegrew out of what was previously the Department ofPathology of the hospital. As the name of the Instituteimplies, its staff is primarily concerned with dentalresearch and comprises graduates in both dentistryand science. There are permanent positions forgraduates as well as a number of positions held bypostgraduate students on research grants. The Instituteis concerned with biological research rather thanproblems of dental materials and the topics ofinvestigation come within the fields of chemistry,biochemistry, physiology, bacteriology, immunologyand pathology. There is a close liaison with the dentalprofession and certain tests are carried out on request.Finance is provided by the Health Department ofNew South Wales, but members of staff lecture part-time at the University and participate in postgraduatedental programs. The Director holds the position ofProfessor of Oral Biology.

Centre for Oral Health ResearchThe Centre for Oral Health Research brings togethera range of relevant research interests within the Facultyand the Institute of Dental Research, which is nowdesignated the Department of Oral Biology.

The aim of the Centre is to provide the interfacebetween scientific developments and clinical practicethrough studies in a range of relevant areas.

The Centre also serves as a public focus for theactivities of the Faculty and the Institute of DentalResearch. The components of the Centre are theInstitute of Dental Research and the following Facultyunits: Biomaterials, Experimental Oral Surgery,Neurobiology and Orofacial Pain, Oral Pathologyand Oral Medicine, and Orofacial Implants.

(c) three other students.The Senate resolutions for the student membership ofthe Faculty of Dentistry are set out in full in theUniversity's Statutes and Regulations 1994-95.

Students may also become members of otheruniversity bodies.

Consideration was first given in 1897 to the possibilityof establishing a School of Dentistry in the Universityof Sydney, when a provisional curriculum was drawnup by the Senate. However, in the absence of any lawin New South Wales regulating the practice ofdentistry, it was not considered appropriate to takeany definite steps, and no action was taken until thepassing of the Dentists Act in 1900.

The birth of the dental profession in New SouthWales occurred on I January 1901, when the DentistsAct became operative. Prior to this time, there were nolaws governing the practice of dentistry in New SouthWales. Any person could set up in dental practice.However, there were some dentists trained in Englandwho were in practice in the colony, and these peopleworked hard to lay the groundwork for a dentalschool and to establish the practice of dentistry on aprofessional basis.

The Dentists Act provided for the licensing of dentalpractitioners who presented evidence of theirqualification to a Board created for the purpose by theAct. The Act recognised any qualification whichmightbe awarded by the University of Sydney, and therewas therefore no further reason for delay inestablishing a dental school. In 1901 a Committee ofthe Senate was appointed to complete thearrangements for the opening of a dental school. ADepartment of Dental Studies was established, withthe Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at its head. InMarch 1901 the Dental School opened, with seventeenstudents.

The Dental School offered a curriculum of threeyears leading to a Licence in Dentistry. The courseconsisted of basic science subjects such as chemistry,physics, anatomy and physiology; the medical subjectsmateria medica, pathology and surgery; and clinicaldentistry.

A Board of Dental Studies was established,consisting of the Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellorand the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (Chairman),as well as the professors and lecturers in the subjectsof the dental curriculum and the members of thehonorary staff in the Dental Hospital. The first meetingof the Board was held on 12 February 1901. ProfessorSir Thomas Anderson Stuart, the Dean of the Facultyof Medicine, worked tirelessly, first to establish theDental School and then following its inception, topromote its activities.

Initially it was proposed that dental students shouldobtain clinical training in the dental department ofSydney Hospital, but this was found to beimpracticable. The University Dental Hospital wastherefore established in 1901 for the purpose ofproviding dental care for persons unable to pay normaldental fees and also for the purpose of clinicalinstruction to dental students of the University. TheHospital's business was carried out in a building atthe corner of George and Bathurst Streets in the cityopposite St Andrew's Cathedral. In 1900 a DentalHospital of Sydney was also established by the N.S.W.Government, to provide dental care for the poor.Subsequently the two hospitals were amalgamatedby Act of Parliament in 1905, to form the UnitedDental Hospital of Sydney. The United Dental Hospitalwas established in a building on its present site inChalmers Street, Surry Hills, Sydney.

Apart from the medical members, the Departmentof Dental Studies consisted of seven dental staff:

the Instructor in Mechanical Dentistry:N.A. Gray

three lecturers in Surgical Dentistry:N.S. Hinder, DDSN.B. Pockley, DDSR. Fairfax Reading, MRCSEd

three lecturers in Mechanical Dentistry:A.H. MacTaggart, DDSA.C. Nathan, DDSH.S. du Vernet, DDS.

In 1905 theSenate established the degree of Bachelorof Dental Surgery; and a curriculum of four years'duration was approved for this purpose. Specialarrangements were made to permit students holdingthe Licence of Dentistry to be admitted to the degreeafter a year of further study. In 1906 the first candidateswere admitted to the degree of Bachelor of DentalSurgery. There were thirteen candidates for the degree,including two women. Following its establishment,the Board of Dental Studies continued to plan for theeventual development of a Faculty of Dentistry. In1910 the board proposed that a degree of Doctor ofDental Science, similar to the degree of Doctor ofMedicine, be established in the University of Sydney.In 1920 the generosity of the McCaughey benefactionmade possible the establishment of several newFaculties in the University, including a Faculty ofDentistry. The first meeting of the Faculty of Dentistry,at which seven members were present, was held on 8July 1920, and Dr Fairfax Reading was elected firstDean.

The establishment of the Dental School and its laterdevelopment as a Faculty owes much to theendeavours and the ability of Richard Fairfax Reading.Fairfax Reading, who held qualifications in medicineand dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons inEngland, commenced practice as a dentist in Sydneyin 1889 and, together with other dental colleagues andwith Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart, had worked tocreate a dental school within the University of Sydney.He became the first part-time Director of Dental Studiesand subsequently full-time director and then Professorof Dentistry. He was Dean of the Faculty from 1921until his retirement in 1934. Fairfax Reading raised the

standards of dentistry as a profession in New SouthWales and firmly established dental undergraduatetraining in the University.

In the 1920s there was considerable concern in theFaculty about transferring the dental hospital to themain grounds of the University, preferably to beassociated with the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.Only an absence of funds prevented the Senate fromadopting this proposal.

The degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery of theUniversity of Sydney was recognised by the GeneralMedical Council of the United Kingdom for thepurpose of registration in Great Bri tain and its colonies.In 1926 the Senate approved the introduction of thedegree of Doctor of Dental Science, and in the followingyear the first degree was awarded. In 1934 Dr A. J.Arnott was appointed to the Chair of Dentistryfollowing the retirement of Dr Fairfax Reading.Professor Arnott, who had previously beenSuperintendent of the United Dental Hospital, waselected Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, a position heheld until his retirement in 1964.

The Australian Dental Association, N.S.W. Branch,was established in 1927 with the active support of theFaculty of Dentistry and in 1928 the federal body, theAustralian Dental Association, came into being.

In 1934 the Dentists Act was amended. Theprincipal change was the abolition of a system ofapprenticeship, which had allowed dentists to takeapprentices or pupils in return for payment. TheUniversity of Sydney was now recognised as theonly institution for training recognised dentalpractitioners in New South Wales.

The 1930s saw an increase of interest in dentalresearch, and the N.S.W. and CommonwealthGovernments provided funds to the Faculty for thispurpose. In 1936 the Faculty resolved to extend thecurriculum of four years for the BDS degree into a fifthyear. The degree became a full five-year course in the1960s following a visit of inspection by the GeneralDental Council of the United Kingdom.

In 1939 a new building was established for theFaculty of Dentistry within the United Dental Hospital.The postwar period saw an expansion of the activitiesof the United Dental Hospital. In 1946 a Director of theDepartments of Pathology and Bacteriology at theHospital was appointed. In the same year the Instituteof Dental Research was established at the Hospitalwith the approval of the N.S.W. Government. TheInstitute, which was established to promote dentalresearch, was based on the National Institute of DentalResearch in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. Dr N. E.Goldsworthy, Senior Lecturer in Bacteriology in theFaculty of Medicine, was appointed the first director.

In the 1940s the staff of the Faculty was considerablystrengthened. In the early part of the decade threelecturers were appointed, and later three positions ofsenior lecturer were established in the fields of dentalpathology (1947), preventive dentistry (1948) andoperative dentistry (1948). Subsequently, in 1954 and1955, three associate professors in these fields wereappointed. An additional lecturer in operativedentistry was appointed in 1952. In 1947 thePostgraduate Committee in Dental Science was

established, to promote and develop programs ofcontinuing education for the dental profession.

In 1959 the Faculty established the Diploma inPublic Health Dentistry. The degree of Master ofDental Science was established in 1964. This was thefirst full-time formal postgraduate degree in dentistryin Australia.

In 1961 the Senate resolved to establish three chairsin the Faculty, in the fields of prosthetic dentistry,operative dentistry, and preventive dentistry.Associate Professors Graham, Lyell and Martin wereappointed to these chairs respectively. In 1964Professor Arnott retired and Dr M. Jolly succeededhim as McCaughey Professor of Oral Surgery.Professor Arnott (1899-1973) had made a distinguishedcontribution to the development of the teaching ofdentistry, to the planning and building of the UnitedDental Hospital and to the establishment of the Instituteof Dental Research. He was succeeded by ProfessorLyell as Dean of the Faculty. In 1970 Professor Martinbecame Dean of the Faculty, retiring in December1988. Professor Hume was elected Dean in January1989 and resigned in September 1990. ProfessorKlineberg was elected Dean to March 1992 and undera revised University policy became the first appointedDean for a five-year term 1992 to 1996.

The 1970s were a period of concern aboutredevelopment of dental teaching and researchfacilities and revision of the undergradua te curriculum.The MGM Building adjoining the United DentalHospital was purchased by the Health Commission ofNew South Wales with the financial support of theAustralian Universities Commission, and wasconverted into facilities for the Faculty. Planningcommenced for a second clinical school to beestablished in the Westmead Centre, a major newhospital complex in the western suburbs of Sydney(now known as Westmead Hospital). The Hospitalwas opened for medical patients in 1978 and acceptedits first dental patients in 1980.

In line with developments in dental and healthsciences education throughout the world, the Facultyembarked in 1970 on a review of its undergraduatecurriculum. Radical changes were adopted and thefirst students were accepted into the new BDS coursein 1978.

The Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Sydneyis now the largest dental school in Australia. It has themost extensive postgraduate and continuing educationprograms. For many years the Faculty has beenresponsible for training dentists for those states inAustralia and for neighbouring countries withoutdental schools. Dental graduates of many countries inAsia have undertaken their postgraduate studies atthe University of Sydney over the last twenty-fiveyears. Through the superior quality of its graduatesand its postgraduate training and research, the Facultyhas established a strong international reputation andhas been responsible for promoting the higheststandards of dental care in Australia.

In 1994 a new Faculty structure was introducedwith the establishment of a School of Dental Studies.There are no longer four Departments withDepartmental Heads and Disciplines grouped within

Departments. There is now a Head of School, andwithin the School individual Disciplines are identified.Directors of Years are appointed to coordinatecoursework for each year and Course Coordinatorsare responsible for individual courses in each year.

In keeping with the principle of continuingevaluation and development, a complete review ofthe curriculum is currently in progress.

Undergraduate deg ee requirements

10

In 1978 the Faculty of Dentistry introduced a five-yearcurriculum for the BDS degree. The course aims atproviding a basic training for dentists and givinggraduates a rational approach to the practice ofdentistry in the light of existing knowledge, so thatthey may understand and use the new developmentsthat they will later encounter in dental practice.Training for the practice of dentistry is a lifelongprocess, of which undergraduate study is only thefirst step. The object of the undergraduate course is toprovide dental practitioners with the scientific basisfor future studies and to equip them with sufficientskills to begin the practice of dentistry immediatelyafter graduation.

The curriculum attempts to integrate the basicsciences and the preclinical, paraclinical and clinicalcomponents of the course. Students are introduced toclinical experience early in the course, and thecoordination of courses and disciplines is emphasisedto enable them to identify with dentistry at thebeginning of their studies and to prepare them formodern concepts of total oral health care. In line withcurrent developments in health care educationthroughout the world, there is an emphasis on thebehavioural sciences relating to dentistry and also onthe practice of dentistry in a community health setting.

Whilststill retaining the best features of its traditionalteaching the Faculty believes the curriculum willproduce, at the end of five years, a graduate equippedto cope with dentistry as practised in the concludingyears of the twentieth century, and prepared for thepractice of dentistry in the twenty-first.

The student will be shown that the study ofperiodontics is central to all clinical dentistry. Theintimate relationship of periodontics to restorativedentistry will be stressed showing that the biologicaldemands of restorative dentistry require a knowledgeof periodontics. The student is shown that he or she istreating patients with periodontal disease as one aspectof their total dental needs and that all the dental needsare part of their total social environment.

Two semesters of instructionin clinical periodonticswill be given, consisting of demonstrations andpractical clinics in oral hygiene, preventive measures,diagnosis and treatment planning, and conservativeand surgical management of chronic periodontaldisease.

This chapter of the handbook contains informationspecific to the Faculty of Dentistry and some generalinformation. For further details about the University—its organisation, examinations, assistance for studentswith disabilities, child care facilities, housing, health,counselling, financial assistance, careers advice and arange of other matters — see the separate publicationUniversityofSydneyDiary,availablefreefromtheStudentCentre or from University of Sydney Union outlets.

Orientation and enrolmentFirst Year timetableThe First Year timetable will be available during theorientation period.

Registration in First YearAt the time of enrolment students are assigned to a

First Year section and are allocated a particulartimetable of First Year courses. All are required tocomplete Faculty registration upon enrolment.

You must attend lectures and practical classes onlyat the times and locations indicated for your section.

Transfers between FacultiesStudents who enrol in one degree course and pass thecourses prescribed for another degree course have notthe right to transfer to that other degree course, butmay be admitted by the Faculty or Board of Studiesconcerned on merit to the extent the facilities areavailable. It should be noted that the opportunities fortransferring from other Faculties into the Faculty ofDentistry are limited, and competition for entry onthat basis is keen.

If you wish to apply for enrolment in the Faculty ofDentistry with credit for courses completed at theUniversity of Sydney or at another institution youmust apply through the Universities AdmissionsCentre in accordance with the procedure outlined inthe Undergraduate Prospectus, available free from theFaculty Office.

Confirmation of enrolmentAll the information provided when you enrol is addedto the University's computerised student recordsystem. This includes your degree, academic year andthe courses you are taking. It is important that thisinformation be recorded correctly at the beginning ofthe year, and amended should a change occur in anyof the details during the year. You should be awarethat every course enrolment has a financial implicationthrough the Higher Education Contribution Scheme(HECS).

To enable you to see what enrolment data has beenrecorded, you will be sent a 'confirmation of enrolment'notice shortly after completion of enrolment. Youshould check this carefully. If the information &correctyou should keep the notice as a record of your currentenrolment. Should the notice be incorrect in any detail,you should apply at the Student Centre immediatelyto have your record amended. A new confirmationwill then be prepared and sent to you. You will alsoreceive, about two months after the beginning of eachsemester, a statement showing your HECS assessmentfor that semester. If there appears to be an error in thisassessment, you should follow the directions forcorrection of the assessment which are included onthe statement.

If you wish to:• change a course in which you are enrolled• discontinue a course• discontinue enrolment totallyyou should apply at the Student Centre for theappropriate form and then at your Faculty office toobtain approval. Your record at the University will

not be correct unless you do this. It is not sufficient forinstance to tell the lecturer, or even the Departmentaloffice that you discontinued a course. Unless anenrolment change is approved formally at your FacultyOffice it will not be officially recorded and in somecases will incur a financial liability under HECS.

(c) indicate the degree of your incapacity,and express a professional opinion as tothe effect of your illness on your abilityto take an examination.

Certificates in connection with annual or supple-mentary examinations should be submitted prior tothe examinations, unless the illness or misadventuretakes place during the examinations, in which case theevidence must be forwarded as soon as practicable,and in any case before the close of the examinationperiod. There is a special form available at the StudentCentre and at the University Health Service forsubmission with medical certificates.

For consideration on the grounds of misadventure,your application must include a full statement ofcircumstances and any available supporting evidence.

Should you find it embarrassing to state yourdifficulties in writing you should arrange an interviewwith the Dean of the Faculty. Such a request might bemade in the form of a note addressed to the Dean.

The need to seek early adviceMany students in need of advice fail to make full useof the assistance available to them. If you believe thatyour performance during a course, or your preparationfor your examinations, has been adversely affected bymedical, psychological or family circumstances, youshould seek advice as early as possible. Members of

the teaching staff, of the University CounsellingService, and of the University Health Service, are allavailable for consultation and can give advice onappropriate action to take.

Exclusion:Restriction upon re-enrolmentThere are certain circumstances in which you could beasked to show good cause why you should bepermitted to repeat any previously attempted study.Liability for exclusion from re-enrolment is determinedby academic attainment during the immediate pastone or two academic years (depending upon theFaculty, College or Board of Studies concerned). Theresolutions of the Senate restricting re-enrolment maybe found in the University's Statutes and Regulations1994-95. You should acquaint yourself with the studiesin which you are enrolled. If you are in any doubtabout your liability for exclusion following academicfailure or discontinuation of courses you should askadvice of the Exclusions Office.

It is not possible to define in advance all the reasonsthat constitute 'good cause' but serious ill health, ormisadventure properly attested, will be considered.In addition your general record, for example in othercourses, would be taken into account. In particular ifyou were transferring from another faculty your recordin your previous faculty would be considered. Notusually acceptable as good cause are such matters asdemands of employers, pressure of employment, timedevoted to non-university activities and so on, exceptas they may be relevant to any serious ill health ormisadventure.

Extract from Resolutions of the Senate relating toRestriction upon Re-enrolment:Faculty of Dentistry13. The Senate authorises the Faculty of Dentistryto require a student to show good cause why he or sheshould be allowed to re-enrol in the Faculty of Dentistrywhen he or she has failed the Second Year or anyhigher year in the Faculty, if he or she has alreadytaken more than one year of enrolment to completethe requirements of the preceding year.

Subject to the Senate resolutions on restrictionupon re-enrolment, the Faculty may require a studentto show good cause why he or she should be allowedto re-enrol in the Faculty of Dentistry First Yearcourses.

Faculty societiesSydney University Dental Undergraduates'AssociationThe SUDUA, which was functioning in the 1930s andperhaps earlier, comprises all undergraduates enrolledin the Faculty of Dentistry. All members on gradua tionbecome honorary life members.

The object of the Association is to provide themeans for expanding the interests of the studentsbeyond the curriculum of the dental course and tomaintain the traditions and faculty spirit that havealways characterised the dental undergraduate body.The Association also facilitates a close liaison betweenstudents and staff of the Faculty.

The Association elects an executive and alsorepresentatives to the Students' RepresentativeCouncil and the Outside Common Rooms Committeeof the University Union. Thus the dental under-graduates are able to voice their opinions in the variousuniversity associations.

Regular meetings are held, a t which general businessin the interests of the Association is discussed, papersare read, and lectures given. Inter-faculty activitiesare arranged by the Association. Sporting and socialfunctions are conducted, including the annual dentalball and the informal dance each term. The Articulator,the journal of the Association, is published annually.

The SUDUA operates a student cooperative whichsells instruments at a reduced rate.

Dental Alumni Society of the University ofSydneyFounded in 1943, the Dental Alumni Society is apostgraduate society. Some of the more importantaims of the Society are to maintain and foster theassociation of dental graduates with the University, topromote cultural activities, to extend cordialrelationships between graduates and undergraduatesof the Faculty of Dentistry, and to take an interest inany matter within the University that will be of benefitto the Faculty of Dentistry.

Graduates of the Faculty of Dentistry areautomatically General Members of the Society andbecome Financial Members on payment of a smallannual subscription.

Dental Alumni Society MuseumThis Museum within the Faculty of Dentistry is situatedin the United Dental Hospital. It is an historicalmuseum consisting of early dental instruments andequipment of a small nature and at the moment it ishoused incabinets outside the Fairfax Reading Library.It is hoped that in the future it will be enlarged tohouse large equipment and photographs anddocuments describing dental science and practice ofthe past.

The museum display can be inspected at any timethe United Dental Hospital is open.
