Cross-Institutional Enrolment Conditions
- You should use this form if you wish to study a course at another institution (the “host institution”) for credit towards your degree at The University of Notre Dame Australia (your “home institution”). THIS IS NOT AN ENROLMENT FORM for the units you wish to study at another institution. You must complete the appropriate enrolment process at the host institution and you will be advised by their Admissions Office or similar if your application has been approved.
- If you study cross institutional courses in your last semester Notre Dame will not be able to obtain your results in sufficient time to allow you to graduate in that semester. Please take this into account when enrolling in your last semester.
- You will need to justify why you need to undertake study at another institution (this may not apply to Study Abroad/Exchange students who are studying on an approved study abroad/exchange program with a partnership university). Non-Study Abroad/Exchange students, may not be permitted to enrol in a course at the host institution that is the same as or similar to one available at Notre Dame. Cross-institutional enrolment is at the discretion of the Campus Registrar (or delegate) on recommendation from the Dean (or delegate) of your School.
- Study Abroad/Exchange students require the approval of the Director of Study Abroad to study an approved study abroad/exchange program with a partnership university. Course enrolment for Study Abroad/Exchange students must be approved by the Director of Study Abroad at Notre Dame prior to enrolment at the host institution.
- This application form must be completed by you and signed by the Dean of your School (or Course Coordinator as delegate) at Notre Dame in order to confirm that the course(s) you wish to undertake will be credited to your degree. Your application form will not be considered by the host institution unless formally approved in this way.
- A number of courses offered by universities have prerequisites which may be met by the courses which you have already completed at Notre Dame. You may be asked to provide a certified copy of your academic transcript to the host institution.
- Applicants should be aware that quotas apply to many programs or courses at the host institution and there is no guarantee that enrolment will be available in the course(s). It is therefore advisable to lodge this form together with supporting documentation as soon as possible and by published due dates.
- If you withdraw from a course and/or add a course you need to formally do so at the host institution through their usual procedure AND complete a Notre Dame ‘Change of Enrolment’ form to amend your record at Notre Dame. Courses undertaken without pre-approval by Notre Dame (including those successfully completed) may not be approved retrospectively, in which case a student may apply for Advanced Standing (fee may apply).
- You are responsible for supplying to your School or Study Abroad Office for Study Abroad/Exchange students at Notre Dame a certified copy of the Statement of Results for your cross institutional enrolment course(s) so that the results can be added to your record. A cross institutional or study abroad course not converted to a formal grade within six months will be recorded as a “Fail” grade and will appear on your academic transcript.
- Except for exchange students participating in an approved study abroad program with a partnership university, results for courses taken at other tertiary institutions are recorded as “Non Graded Pass” or “Fail” on your Notre Dame academic transcript, as other institutions have different grading systems. However, you will also receive an official result/transcript from the host institution which you should keep. You can use this in conjunction with your Notre Dame transcript. Exchange students will have their results converted by the Study Abroad Office to The University of Notre Dame Australia grading rubric on their academic record.

Fees and Charges
- A $75 administration fee applies for processing this application for students not participating in an approved study abroad/exchange program with a partnership university. A late fee of $25 may apply depending on the date of submission of the application.
- Receipt of payment must be attached to this form prior to processing by the Student Administration office of Notre Dame.
- You are required to fulfill your financial obligations to the host institution. This involves the payment of any tuition fees or charges. The University of Notre Dame Australia accepts no liability for unpaid fees/charges from a host institution. Note: unpaid fees/charges could result in your academic record at the host institution being withheld which may affect your ability to graduate from Notre Dame.
- If you are a Commonwealth Supported Student you will need to complete a Commonwealth Assistance Form with the host
institution where a debt will be incurred for the course(s) undertaken.
