Coursework cross-institutional study

Studying at another Australian university and counting the course towards your ANU program is known as cross-institutional study.

You will need to consider whether you have room in your degree to undertake cross-institutional study. This will depend on which degree program you are in and how many courses you have already studied elsewhere. This may vary depending upon whether you:-

  • have transferred to the ANU and you have already applied for course credit from another university, and/ or
  • have already completed courses on exchange, and/ or you plan to go on exchange

You should complete the Cross institutional study form and send a copy of the complete form, the course outline(s) for the requested courses and a program plan to students.cass@anu.edu.au

When you complete the approved courses at the host institution it is your responsibility to arrange a copy of an official transcript to be submitted to the ANU for the granting of course credit.

Please send your official transcript to: students.cass@anu.edu.au
