FAQs

How does it work?

Students are required to make their own arrangements for most short-term programs. ANU Global Programs can provide general advice on whether short-term programs might be appropriate, however we can only provide minimal program assistance. It is up to each student to explore what is possible and to apply to the specific university directly.

Can I receive academic credit?

To receive academic credit for a short-term program, course selections must be approved by a student's academic College.  Students should meet with an academic advisor from their college before applying to a short-term program.  Students will need to supply their college with the program outline and/or syllabus for the course(s) they plan to take, which will be assessed at the college's discretion to determine if those courses can be credited towards the students ANU program.
