Cross-Institutional & Non-Award Students

Cross-Institutional Students

Summer & Winter School provides Cross-Institutional students with the opportunity to undertake intensive courses at the University of Adelaide during their univeristy holidays.

Cross-Institutional study is when a student who is enrolled in a program of study at one Australian University, enrols in courses or topics offered at another institutions to count towards their degree at their home university. The 'home institution' is the university from which the student will eventually take out their degree.

Non-Award Students

The University of Adelaide offers a range of courses that are available for study on a Non-Award basis. It is possible to study individual courses at the University of Adelaide for personal interest or professional development, outside of the requirements of a university award. Most undergraduate courses offered by the university are available to be undertaken as non-award study. Non-award students undertake the same studies and assessment as award students, i.e. students who are undertaking the course through a university award, such as a bachelor degree. 

Non-Award study is a great way to 'test the water' regarding university study. As a Non-Award student you attend lectures and tutorials, and are assessed and examined with students who are completing undergraduate degrees. You may or may not be presently enrolled in a University degree course, and may wish to undertake assessment for interest, or to obtain credit points toward a current or future qualification.

How to Enrol & Amend your Enrolment

Cross Institutional students
Students from other institutions who want to undertake summer and winter semester study at the University of Adelaide should complete a Cross-Institutional Enrolment Form, and can drop their courses by submitting a Course Drop Application Form with the relevant Faculty or School.

It is the student’s own responsibility to liaise with their home institution to ensure that they will be awarded credit for the chosen course.

Non-Award students 
Individuals who are not university students and want to undertake summer or winter semester study on a non-award basis should complete a Non-Award Application and Enrolment Form, and can drop courses by submitting an enrolment amendment form with the relevant faculty.
