| Credit Transfer: | If you complete the Associate Degree with at least a credit average in your CIT courses and a minimum grade of Pass in your ANU courses, you will be able to enter the Bachelor of Science degree program at the ANU with status for 18 months of study (equivalent to 72 credit points) and a HECS funded place (for Australian residents). However, you will need to apply through the University Admissions Centre (UAC). Students who do not attain a credit average can apply for entry to the Bachelor of Science program or other ANU Bachelor degree programs through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) but admission will not be automatic. If a student does gain entry through this competitive process they may gain up to 72 units of status for the Associate Degree towards the Bachelor of Science degree only. Assessment of status towards other ANU degrees will be determined by the relevant ANU College on a case-by-case basis. Depending upon electives chosen, you will be well prepared for further study in Botany and Zoology, Ecology and Evolution, Genetics or Resource and Environmental Management.
