6. Upon completion of the unit/s at UNE, students must obtain an official transcript with the grade(s) for the cross-institutional study. The transcript must then be provided to Student Administration Services by the published deadline for the upload of grades to allow sufficient time to grant the cross-institutional study credit especially if it is required for graduation.

To undertake a cross-institutional unit at another university, students complete the following steps:

1. Discuss the potential cross-institutional unit with their course convener to ensure it will be acceptable for the course. 
2. Complete a Cross-Institutional Study Application (CIS) form listing the unit intended to study, which Avondale unit it will replace, and the reason for the cross institutional study.
3. Have the course or strand convener sign this form and then submit it to Student Administration Services (SAS), either in person or emailed to [email protected].
4. When this form is approved, students can apply for cross-institutional study at the other university.  SAS can assist with any required documentation for this application (letter of approval, transcript, signing the home provider endorsement form).

After the cross-institutional study is completed, students must obtain an official transcript with the grade(s) for the cross-institutional study. The transcript must then be provided to Student Administration Services  as soon as possible, and no later than the published deadline for the upload of grades to allow sufficient time to grant the cross-institutional study credit especially if it is required for graduation.
