You may enroll in undergraduate courses for which you are qualified and in which space is available. Course descriptions in the online course catalog (see above) include prerequisites you must fulfill in order to enroll in each course.
For each course that you list on your preference form, be sure to check the following:

• When determining which courses to take, please bear in mind that the Australian academic system is an intensive, three-year program.
• First-year (1000-level) courses are appropriate for departments in which you have little or no prior experience.
• Second-year (2000-level) courses will be equivalent to advanced sophomore or junior-level U.S. courses.
• Third-year (3000-level) courses will be equivalent to senior-level U.S. courses.
• Fourth-year (4000-level) courses and higher are part of a postgraduate degree (Masters or Ph.D.). You are not eligible to take these courses as an undergraduate study abroad student. 6. Remember, in Australia, U.S. fall semester = semester 2 and U.S. spring semester = semester 1. Be sure to select courses for the correct semester you are studying abroad.

INTERNSHIP
You can gain practical experience in addition to your classes at the University of Adelaide with an internship. Various internships are available at placements in businesses, nonprofit organizations, government offices, and community volunteer centers in Adelaide. Internships are worth the equivalent of 4 U.S. semester credit hours, which you may take in place of one elective class.

Eligibility for an internship placement is dependent on a variety of factors including but not limited to, requirements set by the host organization, your knowledge and interests, and project availability by organization. Students are required to demonstrate a positive attitude and commitment during the internship process and must present the Internships Office with a professional resume and transcript. GPA may be also considered as part of the internship placement selection, however it is not a determining factor. Internships should be organized after admission to the university but prior to arrival. To learn more, visit the University of Adelaide Student Internships website.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years of age. Students under 18 may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

TRANSCRIPT
Upon completion of your program, IFSA will send an official Butler University transcript to your home university with your coursework converted to the U.S. semester credit hour system. You will also have access to an unofficial transcript in your IFSA Student Portal. The transcript reflects classes taken, credits attempted, and grades earned during your term abroad. This service is included in your study abroad program at no additional cost. See our Transcripts page for more information.
