This video is a guide to assist you with finding your Course Progression at Southern Cross University.
A Course Progression is a suggested enrolment pattern. We always recommend that you follow the enrolment pattern, that way you will complete the foundation units before you complete the advanced units and you will not run in to any pre-requisite knowledge issues or timetable problems.
If you are unable to follow the Course Progression for any reason, we recommend you contact us, the Client Services Team to discuss the best path for you. enquiry@scu.edu.au
