For those students currently studying at ACU (having enrolled in the BN or BN double degree programme in 2017 or earlier), you will be expected to follow the course map which was provided with your original course enrolment. The existing BN will be taught-out as the new BN is taught-in ( years two and three of the existing BN, 2019 year three of the existing BN, 2020 no existing BN units on offer). If your original study plan requires you to complete a unit which is no longer offered by ACU (and this will not occur until 2019), you will be required to seek course advice from a Course Coordinator who will assist you to revise your study plan using the unit equivalency table. This table identifies units in the new programme which are equivalent to those in the existing programme. Information last updated on 30 July Page 8
