Cross Institution Study is for students who are Commonwealth supported and who are currently enrolled in a semester within an undergraduate award at another Higher Education Provider but wish to undertake nominated units at Macquarie University in the same semester which will count towards that particular undergraduate award at the other Higher Education Provider. For the purposes of Cross Institution study, Macquarie University is the 'Host University'; accordingly your current University is the 'Home University'.
International Students currently enrolled in an undergraduate award at another Higher Education Provider should contact Macquarie International at http://www.international.mq.edu.au/

Concurrent Studies at Macquarie University refers to a student studying a degree at Macquarie University intending to study individual units at another tertiary institution.
Cross Institutional study at Macquarie University may be suitable for students in the following categories:
