CASS Degrees and Program Plans
title
Please note:
- Students are required to follow the rules of their program/programs according to the year that they started. Students who change their degree through a program transfer should follow the rules of the program/programs according to the year they started the new program/programs. However, students now have an option that if they start a program and then transfer to a new program they may elect to follow the rules of the program according to the original year they started. If students choose this option, they must send an email to students.cass@anu.edu.au to advise the student office to note this on the transcript. When you fill in your plan, please state which year's rules you are following on the top of the plan.
Example:A student starts a BA in 2014. If they were to stay in the BA, they must follow the 2014 rules (including which majors and minors they can choose). If they were to program transfer to a BA/BPPE in 2016, they would have to follow the 2016 rules for the BPPE. However, they may choose to follow the 2014 rules for the BA instead of the 2016 if they prefer. - If a student is undertaking a degree and new courses are added to the major, minor, specialisations or program lists in years consequent to the year's rules they are following, these courses can count retrospectively.
- Students are expected to complete their degree according to the rules that were in place at the time they enrolled. So, a student who enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts in 2018 is expected to complete the 2018 version of the program, even if the program has evolved. Students are allowed to count courses that have been more recently added to Majors, Minors, and Specialisations. That is, a student who enrolled in 2018 and intends to complete a Major in Political Science may be allowed to count a course that was added to that Major in 2019. They will not be allowed to count Majors, Minors, and Specialisations that were not named in the version of the degree in which they are enrolled.

Higher Degree Research coursework
If you are a PhD or MPhil student in CASS, CASS HDR programs include a coursework milestone. HDR coursework provides academic and methodological training to qualify candidates for thesis work or its equivalent; to enhance diversity in the candidate’s scholarly competence; and to provide the support and structure required for students to complete high-quality HDR degrees within a reasonable timeframe.
To check the CASS HDR coursework requirements, please navigate to the Higher Degree Research tab below and select the area in which you are studying. Each area has a PDF that lists the coursework requirements by year. Usually you follow the coursework requirements for the year in which you commenced. However, if you wish to follow the requirements for a different year, or a different selection of courses, please discuss with your Chair of Panel. If you and your Chair wish to select courses that differ from the area lists, please email the CASS Student Office to apply for the relevant approvals.
HDR Coursework and Milestone results will appear on official transcripts. The coursework milestone for PhD students in CASS is set at the two-year mark from commencement (18 months for MPhil students); however, it is expected that students will complete their coursework in the first 12-18 months of candidature. The CASS Student Office marks off the coursework milestone at the end of each semester. If you have any questions about your coursework milestone, please email the CASS Student Office.
