[Print-friendly version]

QUT students are considered to be cross-institutional if undertaking one or more units at another Commonwealth funded institution for advanced standing/exemption in an award course at QUT (the home institution).
Students studying cross-institutionally must apply to enrol on the form specified by the institution where the unit will be studied (the host institution).
To be eligible for cross-institutional study the enrolment form must be approved by QUT (either your Course Coordinator or School Administration Officer).
Students should not exceed the equivalent of a full-time load of 60 credit points combined across both institutions for units undertaken within standard semesters.

Your QUT enrolment

Students should only enrol once in unit undertaken cross-institutionally.

That is, if enrolling at another institution to gain advanced standing at QUT, you should not enrol in the equivalent units within your QUT course; if you do not have any units to study for that teaching period at QUT, you must apply for Leave of Absence on an L Form (except for international students who must have a full-time enrolment at QUT* – see below).

* QUT International students who hold a student visa must maintain a full-time load at QUT at all times. International students should also receive written approval from their respective faculty to confirm the advanced standing agreement and your ability to maintain a full-time student program at QUT.

Advanced standing (academic credit)

After the successful completion the units at the host intuition you will need to have this advanced standing recognised towards your QUT course.

To apply for advanced standing you should apply for an official academic transcript from the host intuition which you will include with the completed AC Form (this will be changing to the AS Form on 11 April). If the granting of advanced standing makes you eligible to graduate, you must indicate this next to the “Tick here if you are in you last teaching period for this course.” part of Question 2 of the form.

Commonwealth supported students

Students in a Commonwealth supported place at QUT may apply to the host institution to undertake the units on a Commonwealth supported basis. You must complete a new Request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP Form for the Commonwealth supported units you are going to study and forward the form to the host institution. The form must be completed prior to the census date of the first teaching period.

Tuition fee paying places

If you are in a tuition fee paying place and you are studying cross institutionally:

Domestic students : you may be eligible to apply for Commonwealth assistance to pay for your tuition fees through FEE-HELP. QUT students should enquire with the host institution.
International students : International students should refer to the International Fee information http://www.international.qut.edu.au/apply/cost
