Cross-Listing Units of Study

Undergraduate Study
Postgraduate Study

Undergraduate study

Sometimes the subject matter taught in a unit of study may span 2 or more subject areas (eg the senior unit of study ASNS3619 China and Globalisation counts towards an Asian Studies Major and also a History major). In these cases a unit may be cross-listed to one or more majors. The ‘cross-listing’ of a subject is a formal agreement between the departments involved, you can not apply to have a unit cross-listed to your major individually. If you choose to crosslist a unit to your major, it cannot then be counted towards another major. The general rule on cross-listing is that a maximum of 18 senior credit points can be cross-listed to a major, but this can vary depending on the department and the major being offered.

Steps to follow

Students should consult the rules for completion of a major as set out in the Table of Units of Study and the Table of Cross-Listed Units of Study

In some instances the prerequisites placed on a unit of study may be waived if a student is intending to crosslist the unit to another major. Students must contact Student Services to enable their enrolment if they have not completed the prerequisites for a unit of study.

The rules

• Students normally have the option of cross-listing up to 18 senior credit points (that is 3 units of study) towards their major. However the rules may vary and students should consult the rules for completion of a major before making their choice.
• Units of study cannot be counted towards more than one major.
• Only those units of study which already appear in the tables as cross-listed units will be permitted for cross-listing.
• All normal enrolment deadlines apply.

Postgraduate study

Applying to crosslist a unit of study means to count that unit towards your degree, even though it isn’t listed under the core or elective units available. Only students enrolled in either the Graduate Diploma or the Master of Arts, or the Graduate Diploma or Master of Creative Writing can apply to crosslist units. No crosslisting is available to Graduate Certificate students.

Please refer to the Postgraduate handbook to view the resolutions of your award course and check whether you are able to crosslist units to your degree. These units must fit within the core requirements for your degree.

Steps to follow

You will need to complete the Crosslist a unit of study form and have it approved by the relevant postgraduate coursework coordinator or degree director.

You will need to submit the form to the Student Services counter or via .
