WARNING
Unfortunately because of the unacceptable behaviour of a few individuals over the last few years, the School of Earth Sciences will now implement a "Yellow Card" system. A "Yellow Card" will be issued to any individual demonstrating unacceptable behaviour on an excursion. If a second card is issued to the same individual within a two year period then the student will have to justify to the Head of the School of Earth Sciences why they should continue to be enrolled at the University of Melbourne.
