Non-award and cross-institutional study
Non-award study
Non-award study refers to enrolment in subjects that do not count towards a formal award course at UTS. You may choose to participate in non-award study out of personal interest, or to upgrade your skills or knowledge in a specific area. If you decide to become a non-award student, you will not be eligible to access any of the government loan schemes. Non-award study is only offered to domestic students.
Cross-institutional study
Cross-institutional study refers to enrolment in subjects for credit towards an award course at another Australian University in which a student is enrolled.
If you are a cross-institutional student, you may be eligible for HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP depending on whether you have a CSP or DFEE place and meet the citizenship and residency requirements. If you’d like to apply for cross-institutional study at UTS, with your application you will be required to submit:
- your home institution's written confirmation that the subject(s) applied for will be credited towards your degree
- evidence of your current fee status at your home institution (CSP or Domestic Fee Paying).
