The list of classes is for both March and August intakes for 2011. It will also be a helpful guide if you are thinking about coming in subsequent years.
How to make it happen
- If you know which North American college or university you plan to transfer credits to, speak to one of their advisors about which Avondale classes listed in this guide might transfer best.
- If you don't know which North American college or university you want to transfer credits to plan to take classes that are typical of general education classes such as English, Introductory Psychology and Sociology, Christian Studies (if you are planning to attend an Adventist college or university) plus classes that are aligned with the major/s that you plan to take.
- The classes each have a code. To find out more about what the class involves and if there are prerequisites, click on the code to view the synopsis of the unit. Note that generally "unit" refers to the class and "course" refers to the study program in Australian universities and colleges.
- Course codes consist of four letters, four numbers and a . then a number
- the letters indicate theme (eg. CR = Christian Studies)
- the numbers indicate what level/year they are offered for (1000 numbers are generally first year classes, 2000 numbers are generally second year classes),
- (dot) then a number indicate the semester the class is offered in (.1 classes are offered in first (March - June) semester and .2 classes are offered in second (August - December) semester.
