Cross-institutional, non-award and observing a topic

Enrolment

    Overview Enrolment dates and schedule Choosing your topics and course advice Applying for credit Enrolling in and withdrawing from topics Class registration Cross-institutional, non-award and observing a topic External students Taking time off or changing course Flinders and TAFESA dual awards Flinders Foundation Studies Program International students Higher Degree by Research Exchange and study abroad In Person Learning Conduct Rules and Declaration

Cross-institutional Students

With the approval of your home university, you can apply to enrol in a topic at another university and have that study credited towards your degree at your home university.  This is known as cross-institutional study.  If you wish to undertake this study you will need to obtain approval separately from both institutions.

Current Flinders University Students (Outgoing)

Current Flinders University students seeking to study a topic at another university require approval from their relevant College before enrolling elsewhere. To apply for cross-institutional study, you need to complete the following steps:

  1. Find a topic at another institution that you would like to study and identify how it fits into your degree plan. For example, are you seeking to complete the topic in place of an elective, or towards a major?
  2. Copy the link of the topic information page from the other institution’s website and submit it in an Ask Flinders support request. Please allow a minimum of two weeks for your application to be assessed.
  3. If approved, your cross-institutional enrolment will appear on your Confirmation of Enrolment.
  4. Upon completion of the topic, you must provide your College with an academic transcript to be granted credit.

Please note: Approval to undertake cross-institutional study does not constitute acceptance or enrolment at the other university. You will still need to formally apply to the other university, providing your approval email and Confirmation of Enrolment as evidence of Flinders’ approval. Once that University gives approval you will need to enrol in the relevant topic/s at that university.

You will gain credit for your cross-institutional study but the grade for the topic received at the other institution/university will not be recorded on your Flinders transcript and will not factor in calculating your Flinders GPA. Therefore, you must keep a record of your academic results from the other institution/university.

 

Incoming Students

If you are a returning cross-institutional student and want to study additional topics please submit an Ask Flinders  support request with your topic selection and home university’s approval and we will add this topic to your existing study plan.  You do not need to go through the full online application process again.

If you have not undertaken cross-institutional study with us before you can apply through our online application process.

Before you submit your application, you will need to have: 

  1. Identified the topic(s) you wish to study by searching the Flinders topics page.
  2. Obtained your home university’s approval.
  3. A transcript from your home university (an unofficial transcript is acceptable).
  4. Your SACE documentation, if applicable.
  5. Confirmation of your Commonwealth supported place, if applicable.

How to Fill out the Incoming Cross-Institutional Study Application Form

Guide to Cross-Institutional Study Application Form

Please note when filling out the online form that you need to search and apply for a course, Cross-Institutional Studies first before indicating which topic (eg. ITAL1201) you wish to study later in the form.

Enrolment at Flinders is completed online, through the Student System. If your application is approved, you will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to access your Flinders account and enrol. See the enrolling in and withdrawing from topics and class registration webpages for further information.

 

International students who apply must also attach a copy of the following to their application:

  • Passport
  • Visa details
  • Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)

By applying, you acknowledge that Flinders University reserves the right to confirm your eligibility to study through the Department of Home Affairs’ Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system.

 

Non-award students

Non-award study is the opportunity to enrol in a topic without admission to a degree or course of study. This usually suits professionals who wish to demonstrate competence in a study area or pursue personal interest. Students participate in all class requirements and complete assessment to receive a final grade; however, the topic is not counted towards a specific degree.

International students will be charged a tuition fee equivalent to a Flinders international student studying the same topic and having commenced their program in the current year. Domestic students will be charged the applicable full-fee paying rate for postgraduate topics, or the applicable combined Commonwealth Government and student contribution amount for undergraduate topics. Payment is required upfront by the due date of the applicable semester.

The payment amount is at least equal to the highest student contribution amount rate (for undergraduate topics) or the postgraduate coursework tuition fee rate (for postgraduate topics). Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) charges also apply.

Before you submit your application you need to use the university timetable to find currently available topics.

Observing a topic

Observing Topics means that a person attends lectures from a topic in an award course for general interest (i.e. not for the purpose of completing the requirements of the award).

Please note that observing a topic does not include online lectures or resources reserved for students such as field trips, tutorials, seminars, workshops, laboratories, computing facilities, or assessment. Signed approval from the relevant Topic Coordinator must be provided on the form below prior to submitting the application.
