Note: The Freshwater Ecology and Concepts in Ecology Field camps will be both held in Calperum. Students enrolling in both courses will be required to complete a clash override form and Faculty of SET (Sciences, Engineering and Technology) staff will override this clash for you. However, this clash will not cause you problems because students attending the Freshwater Ecology camp (11-13 April) will be required to remain in Calperum to continue on and attend the other field camp for Concepts of Ecology (13-16 April).
