Cross-institutional study
Students are not normally enrolled at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵwhen studying cross-institutionally, however, it is possible to study at another university concurrently with your ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵstudies.
This is most commonly achieved by combining ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵstudies with online courses from another university, or with courses from another Canberra institution.
If you plan to study concurrently at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵand another institution, be sure to indicate this when applying.
Things to keep in mind
- If you are not enrolling at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵbut are seeking permission to undertake studies at another Australian tertiary institution to count towards your ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵprogram, you do not need to register ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵenrolment.
- If the courses you are studying elsewhere will complete your ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵprogram requirements, you should indicate this at the time you lodge your form.
- Ensure that you are aware of the enrolment and procedural deadlines of the university you plan to study at. Allow plenty of time to meet all deadlines.

Make an appointment with your course adviser at your ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵCollege to discuss your course plan and your intention to undertake cross-institutional study.
