Planning
ahead for your exchange is essential…
Q:
How do I know if I can fit an exchange into my degree?
A:
Getting nominated by IEO to go on exchange does not necessarily
mean that you will be able to fit an exchange into your
degree. In the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences,
we require our students to complete a minimum of 48 units
in our College, regardless of whether you are a combined
degree student or you are enrolled in a single degree. If
you have come into the ANU with status/transfer credit from
another institution, you may find that you will be unable
to meet this 48 unit minimum requirement if you also decide
to go on exchange.
In addition you must have completed at least 48 units of
Arts courses before departure if you are in a combined degree
or 72 units of Arts courses before departure if you are
in a single degree.
If you are unsure about whether going on exchange will fit
into your degree simply contact our Student Office and make
an appointment to see our Arts Student Advisor or send an
email to the Arts Student Advisor at: exchange.arts@anu.edu.au
(please include your student ID and your Arts major(s)).
Q:
If I get accepted through IEO to go on exchange, will the
courses I do automatically count towards my degree?
A: No, your exchange courses do not automatically
count towards your ANU degree. All you need to do is follow
the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences Course Approval
Process (which is explained in 5 easy steps over the page)
in order to guarantee that the study you do overseas will
be credited towards your degree. Depending on your major(s),
you may find that you will not be able to receive approval
for certain ‘core’ courses. So it is a good
idea to try and complete any core requirements for your
major(s) or your degree prior to going on exchange.
Q:
When do I need to start the course approval process?
A: Once you have been nominated by IEO to a particular
institution, you should begin the course approval process
straight away. If you wait until you have received confirmation
of your acceptance by the host institution, you are likely
to find that there is not enough time to receive course
approval prior to the start of your exchange.
