Information is on accepting or deferring your offer is available on the main ANU website.

Honours applications are submitted to the college in different methods depending on your current situation.

Current ANU students in a 4 year undergraduate degree with a built in honours year need to supply an application directly to the college Science Central office.

All other ANU students + non ANU students need to apply via the apply button on the relevant programs and courses page.

For further information and the supplementary forms please refer to http://science.anu.edu.au/study/how-apply/honours-year-application

If you have completed a full year of tertiary studies, your application will be assessed on the basis of your tertiary results only, not your ATAR. More information on undergraduate domestic students' admission can be found on the main ANU website.

The Chemistry Bridging Course targets students who have not completed Year 12 Chemistry but wish to pursue first-year university chemistry. This course is delivered once a year, before the start of semester 1 usually at the end of January and/or beginning of February. It takes around two weeks to complete this course.

To enrol into the Bridging course in Chemistry or for more information, please click to the link above. Please note that the webpage is updated once a year before enrolments open, generally in October.

If you do not satisfy the chemistry prerequisites we encourage you to list the Bachelor of Science program as your first preference and then undertake the chemistry bridging course that is offered by the ANU Research School of Chemistry. This will maximise your chances of being made an offer to an ANU program, and on successful completion of the bridging course, allow you the opportunity to enrol in first year chemistry at ANU.

You may apply to transfer from the Bachelor of Science to the Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of Biotechnology or Bachelor of Genetics after one semester of study (if your ATAR met the admission requirement), or after your first year of studies (if your ATAR did not meet the admission requirement). After your first year of study, assessment for transfer will be made on the basis of your university GPA. Note that, to be successful in a transfer application, you will need to be satisfying any progression rules required by the degree.

You cannot count any courses towards two different programs or towards more than one major, minor or specialisation. There is one exception to this rule: Up to two 1000 level courses can be counted towards two different degrees or two science majors IF they are compulsory courses for both degrees or majors. The balance of the course requirements needs to be made up with other courses that will contribute towards one or the other degree, major, minor or specialisation. Approval also needs to be sought from the Science Sub Dean.

If you there is too much overlap between the major/minors/specialisation that you have nominated you will either have to change your major/minor/specialisation choice or consider enrolling in a single degree instead.

Undergraduate students interested in participating in a research project over the summer holidays can apply for our Summer Research Program.

All information on the program, deadline for application, eligibility and scholarships/internships conditions can be found on the Summer Research Program webpage.

If you have any further enquiries regarding this program please email summer.scholarships@anu.edu.au .

Before applying for Cross-Institutional studies, we recommend that you make an appointment with the Science Sub-Dean to make sure the course(s) you want to undertake will count towards your degree. Appointments with the Science Sub-Dean can be made by using our online booking system.

For more information on the cross-institutional application process we recommend that you also visit the ANU Cross-Institutional Study webpage. Please note, you will also need to apply directly to the host institution to undertake the courses you want, and some of these institutions may require their forms to be signed by an approving authority at the ANU. In these instances, please also bring this paperwork to your meeting with the Sub Dean.

You can lodge the Application to Study Elsewhere on a Cross-Institutional Basis without meeting with the Sub-Dean however you may be contacted to book an appointment during the evaluation process.

Please submit an outline for each course you wish to take along with your application form (see attachment). Please submit your application to Science Central (Peter Baume Building #42, Ground Floor) or via email to science.enquiries@anu.edu.au (PDF or JPEG files only).

As of January 2014, domestic students no longer need to apply for program leave. Students can take up to two years of leave at any time while still remaining active in their programs. After this time however they will be deactivated from their program and required to re-apply upon their return.

International students are required to submit an Application for Program Leave form prior to the semester they wish to take leave.

Further information on program leave is available on the Program management page on the main ANU website.

Current ANU students can apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) – Science degree by following the degree transfer procedure.

In order to be considered for transfer into the program you should have a GPA of at least 6.5 from previous ANU study. If you have completed less than 48-units of tertiary study, your application will be assessed on the basis of your original entrance rank.

In addition to the Application for Degree Transfer through ISIS, students must:

1. Complete the PhB Supplementary Form and return this via email to phb.science.enquiries@anu.edu.au; and
2. Arrange for two referees to provide reports to us on their behalf.
   Referees should preferably be recent/current ANU course convenors or lecturers.  Referees must email their report directly to phb.science.enquiries@anu.edu.au.

Students should aim to return these documents by the last day of the exam period in the Semester before they are applying for transfer (or as soon as possible after this date).

For more information please refer to transfer guidelines for the Bachelor of Philosophy or contact phb.science.enquiries@anu.edu.au.

Read the Transferring between programs page on the main ANU website.

In order to determine whether you would be able to enrol in the course by yourself on ISIS, please first check the course start and end dates on our Programs and Courses catalogue (Offerings and dates tab)

If the course dates overlap with the standard semester, then your course will contribute towards the the max 24 units load. Summer, Semester 1 and Autumn courses contribute to the load of the first half of the year, Winter, Semester 2 and Spring courses contribute to the load of the second half of the year.

If you have already enrolled in 24 units for the semester in question, enrolment in the non standard session course will constitute an overload and you will need to seek College approval. To do so, please log onto ISIS and complete the eform ‘Manage my Degree’ . (ISIS/Degree Management/Manage my Degree).

For more information on Overload and the assessment criteria, please refer to the Overload policy.

Keep in mind that some non-standard session courses do not overlap at all with semester 1 or 2 and therefore you can take up to 12 units during that session without applying to Overload as long as the course contact hours do not overlap.

Before you can enrol there are a few steps you must take:

1. Find a research project supervisor.
2. Fill out the Research Project Summary form (pdf, 139 KB). Please note that your research project supervisor will also have to complete the Summary of Assessment on the research project summary form, and should also provide you with the name of a co-marker.
3. Seek approval from the Associate Director of Science Education in the area you want to do you research project in.
4. Complete an enrolment change form (pdf, 435 KB).
5. Submit your application to Science Central (Peter Baume Building #42, Ground Floor) or via email to science.enquiries@anu.edu.au (PDF or JPEG files only).

Your application will be assessed and you will be notified by email of the outcome.

If you submitted a form to Science Central we will notify you by email once it has been processed or if we need further information. If you have not heard from us within a reasonable period of time (for example, 5 working days), please send an email to science.enquiries@anu.edu.au.

The maximum timeframe in which an undergraduate degree must be completed is 10 years. If you have been given credit the clock starts from the date you completed the first course for which credit has been granted.

If you feel your performance in an exam or assessment item has been adversely affected by circumstances beyond your control, you can apply for Special Consideration to the Examinations Office via the special consideration eForm, on ISIS.

A Student Quick Guide is available under the 'Resources' box on this page. Please note that you will need to provide sufficient and appropriate supporting documentation.

Applications must be lodged online within three working days from the original due date of the assessment task or examination. Applications for special consideration will not be accepted after this time unless serious illness or misadventure prevented you from submitting the form within this period. If this is the case, please contact the Examinations Office directly at examinations.officer@anu.edu.au.

For eligibility, process and general information, please refer to Special assessment consideration webpage.

If you have any further enquiries regarding special assessment consideration, please contact the Examinations Office at examinations.officer@anu.edu.au or on (02) 6125 3236.

Further to the appeals process that is outlined on the main ANU website, the first step of your appeal is to contact the course convener for informal consideration. If you have already spoken with the course convener and are dissatisfied with the response you can lodge a formal appeal with the Associate Dean of the Colleges.

If you are still unsatisfied with the response given, you can lodge a procedural appeal to the Dean of the College. You can do that via science.enquiries@anu.edu.au .

Please make sure you document all steps of your appeal process so that you can include all relevant information as appropriate.

Invoices are generated in ISIS and then emailed to your ANU email account. Fees for first semester are generally due early March for semester one and early August for semester two. Fees for non-standard sessions (summer, winter etc.) are typically due no less than 21 days after the invoice has been issued.

Fees can be paid online through ISIS, or in person via credit card or cheque at Student Central. Visit the Costs & fees page on the main ANU website for more information.

You need to determine whether you have a legitimate clash and, if so, what to do next. When you first build your timetable you may find you have different types of face-to-face course requirements. Some you need to attend and some you may not. You may find your timetable is full with different lab/prac and workshop groups. It is important to note that large courses will be broken down into smaller lab/prac or workshop groups and you will only need to attend one per course.

If you find that you still have clashes with your courses after you have talked with the course convenor(s), you may need to drop one of your courses and enrol in another one.

Lectures displayed on the timetable builder are not compulsory and are recorded however ideally you should aim to attend as many as you can. If you find two course lectures are clashing there are a couple of options available to you:

1. Alternate attending lectures from one course to the other
2. Talk to the course conveners and seek their advice
3. Change course

All lectures should be recorded and available on Wattle. Please check with the relevant course convenor. Their name can be found on Program and Courses and their contact details on main ANU website.

Tutorials and labs are often compulsory. The timetable builder will display all groups but you only have to sign up to one of them, which ever suits your schedule best. e.g. Tutorial 01/001 , Tutorial 01/002, Tutorial 01/003. These are all tutorial and you sign up for them on Wattle. If unsure, please contact the relevant school or course convenor.

Wattle refreshes its database overnight so, depending when the changes were made on your account, it can take up to 48h before your enrolment change is updated on Wattle.

The course lecturer will advise as to the appropriate method for acquiring course materials. However generally you would pay for your brick through the Science Shop website and collect the material from the school.
