Cross-Institutional Study
Cross-institutional study means that you may gain approval to study units at another institution (host institution) and credit that study towards your award at ECU (home institution).
Cross-institutional enrolment needs some preparation as you need to discuss your situation with your School Student Support Officer, gain approval and then apply to the other institution before their closing dates.

Applying for cross-institutional study
- Obtain an Application for Cross-Institutional Enrolment from Student Central or your School Student Support Officer.
- Contact the School Student Support Officer to obtain approval.
- Submit your approved application, together with a copy of your current academic timetable, to Student Central.
- You will be sent or handed the processed form, together with a photocopy which you need to keep and submit to ECU when results are obtained from the host university.
- Apply to the host university for entry.
Approval from ECU does not guarantee acceptance by the host institution. - If your application is accepted by the host institution it
is your responsibility to arrange your enrolment into the required
units and the payment of any fees at the host university.
Submit to Student Central a copy of your confirmation of enrolment from the host university.
If your application is not accepted by the host institution - advise Student Central.
Studying cross-institutionally
Rules, procedures and semester dates vary between institutions. When studying cross-institutionally you are governed by the institution providing the course of study into which you have enrolled:
- For units at the host institution you need to comply with the host's requirements - payment of fees, closing dates, administrative procedures, etc.
- For units at ECU you need to fulfill ECU requirements.
e.g. submitting a course withdrawal to ECU will not withdraw you from the host institution units.
Applying to have the study credited to your ECU award
When you receive notification of results from your host institution you need to apply to have the study credited to your ECU award. Usually, you will need to apply to the host institution for an official transcript of results.
Submit the following to Student Central:
- your transcript of results
- copy of your original Application for Cross-Institutional Enrolment
