Academic Advice
Before applying for any credit or exemption towards the program, students should include an assessment of their qualification completed by either CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia or the Institute of Public Accountants.
Students who have a Bachelor of Accounting or a major in
accounting (including those who completed BUSN1001 and BUSN1002 at ANU) or hold
a CPA, CA or ACCA membership are exempted from BUSN7008. They are required to
take an advanced accounting course between BUSN7000-BUSN7999.
If after reading through these guidelines you are unsure
about your which courses to enrol in, you can come to an academic advice
session at Melville Hall during Orientation week.
