• HDR students can audit courses if they have written approval from their supervisor and the relevant course authority (conditional also on GRS approval).
• Coursework students can only audit courses after applying to the program and course authorities in writing and receiving their written permission. Approval is usually only given in exceptional circumstances and must be before the enrolment deadline.

By submitting a course substitution request to your you acknowledge that:

1. You can submit a request if the core or compulsory course is not running in a term and not taking it will delay your graduation or progression.

2. The course substitution is valid for that one term only if approved. This means that if you fail the course that you obtained a course substitution for, you will need to enrol in the core or compulsory course again, if available in term.

3. If you wish to complete a course outside your program requirements, due to career aspirations and/ or breadth of knowledge and you have no room to complete this course as an elective or general education, you are required to submit a strong case that outlines your reasoning for wanting to take the course.

ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç courses should be utilised to complete the requirements of a student’s program wherever possible.

The faculty recognises, however, that circumstances may arise where this may not be feasible. In these circumstances, cross-institutional study in another institution may be approved. Please be mindful that meeting all the eligibility criteria does not guarantee application approval.

Please note that courses completed on exchange are not considered in this protocol.

You can apply to undertake cross institutional study when:

• Undertaking the equivalent ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç course when next offered would extend the length of your program.

OR

• Extenuating circumstances prevent you from undertaking the equivalent ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç course.Ìý

OR

• The requested external study does not have an equivalent ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç course and broadens your knowledge in your program core.Ìý

Note: Free Elective and General Education courses are not considered for the purpose of CIS

Your application for cross institutional study will only be considered if it meets the following eligibility criteria:

• A undergraduate student has successfully completed at least 72 units of credit or a postgraduate student has completed a minimum of 50% of the units of credit necessary to complete the program.Ìý
  
• Your academic standing is Good (except in extenuating circumstances and with the approval of the program authority).Ìý
  
• The requested external study counts towards your program requirements.
  
• You do not undertake more than 12 units of cross institutional study throughout your program.
  
• You have not already been granted the maximum amount of advanced standing for your program.

Things you need to know:

• You must obtain approval from your Program Authority via submitting a Cross Institutional Study  before enrolling at another institution.

• Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing. Any applications not accompanied by the necessary documentation (e.g. detailed course outlines and a weblink to the host institution’s webpage) will not be processed.

• In addition to seeking approval from ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç via this form, you must also submit a formal cross institutional application to the institution with which you would like to study. Be aware that acceptance is not guaranteed.

• If you are concurrently enrolled at ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç during the cross-institutional study period, the total UOC completed across cross-institutional study and ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç should not exceed the maximum allowable UOC in that term.

• The requirements of ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç courses take precedence (e.g., with regards to timetable, assignments, exams, etc.). A clash in timetable is not grounds for special consideration or alternative assessment requests. You must ensure that you make appropriate arrangements if there is a clashing time between ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç and host university.

• There is no charge for this application.
• ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Engineering does not include Summer Term as an expected term of completion for the purpose of CIS.
• Free Elective and General Education courses are not considered for the purpose of CIS.

Credit Transfer

• It is your responsibility to provide ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç with the official transcript from the other institution, so that appropriate transfer credit can be recorded on your ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç student record.
  
• Please note that online copies not submitted directly from Host Institutions may require further verification from the Host Institution prior to credit being awarded. You should allow up to 4 weeks for your transcript to be authenticated and credits to be posted.

• Results from courses undertaken at another institution are not part of the calculation for the student’s Weighted Average Mark (WAM); only the credit weighting for the completed cross-institutional course will appear on the ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Academic Transcript.

Students who are completing cross-institutional studies overseas (including for a short course) should visit the International SOS site to register their travel and ensure they are covered by the ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Travel Insurance.
