Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou course when next offered would extend the length of your program.

OR

• Extenuating circumstances prevent you from undertaking the equivalent Â鶹Éçmadou course.Ìý

OR

• The requested external study does not have an equivalent Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou during the cross-institutional study period, the total UOC completed across cross-institutional study and Â鶹Éçmadou should not exceed the maximum allowable UOC in that term.

• The requirements of Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou and host university.

• There is no charge for this application.
• Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou with the official transcript from the other institution, so that appropriate transfer credit can be recorded on your Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou 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 Â鶹Éçmadou Travel Insurance.

The purpose of the faculty WAM is to assist the faculty in making a recommendation for honours at the end of a student Bachelor of Engineering degree.

A student faculty WAM is not calculated until the student have completed all degree requirements, including Industrial Training. The faculty WAM is calculated automatically from the results in a student program, there are no choices to be made, either by the student or staff.

• Courses will be weighted according to the following:

Honours WAM calculation notes

• The faculty WAM will not be the same as the overall WAM shown on your academic transcript on myÂ鶹Éçmadou, as the courses in your transcript are all assigned a weighting of 1.
• For dual degrees, only the courses which count towards the Bachelor of Engineering degree are included in the faculty WAM calculation.
• In the event of failure(s) in a course, the first mark obtained is used in the faculty WAM calculation.
• Academic Withdrawal (AW) grades will count as fails (returns as 0) in the faculty WAM calculations.
• The faculty WAM is calculated to one decimal place and it not rounded up or down for the purposes of awarding honours.
• Courses completed at another institution either prior to or during enrolment at Â鶹Éçmadou are not used. E.g. cross-institutional, exchange programs or courses for which transfer credit was granted.
• The year in the degree when a course is actually taken is irrelevant.

• 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.

Students who apply to concurrently enrol in the Diploma of Language Studies will be required to meet the following conditions before Faculty approval is given:

• A WAM no less than 65.
• Be in good academic standing.

Please Note:

• If you are on a faculty scholarship, its duration will not be extended to match the change to your degree and diploma completion date.
• If you are in a dual engineering degree, you should be aware of the consequences on degree duration.

Non-CSE students¹ may choose to complete either COMP1911 or COMP1511. Although these courses are co-taught, they have different assessments and learning outcomes:

• : Focuses on Arrays.
• : Required to pass Hurdles relating to Arrays and Linked-Lists.

Eligibility:

• Non-CSE Students¹: You can choose to enrol in either COMP1911 or COMP1511.
