This Course Enrolment Guide 2015 provides you with information on when and where
the units available for study in this program(s) will be offered in 2015.
Enrolling in units for 2015
1. Read Section 3. ‘Program Information’ for information on course structure and
unit sequence. Take note of any prerequisite or co-requisite requirements before
selecting particular units.
• A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met by a student before enrolment in
a stipulated unit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the prerequisites
for a unit prior to enrolling into that unit.
• A co-requisite is a requirement that must be met by having already passed or
being concurrently enrolled in an associated unit in order to be able to enrol in the
stipulated unit.
If you wish to enrol into a unit for which you have not met the prerequisite or corequisite requirements, please obtain approval from your Course Coordinator.
2. Refer to the unit listings in Section 4. ‘Units Offered in 2015’ to select your units.
Take note of the study period in which units are offered.
3. You must refer to Administration & Enrolment on the ACU website
(http://students.acu.edu.au/332297 ) for information on how to complete your
enrolment via Student Connect. ‘Administration & Enrolment’ also provides
detailed information on managing your studies.
4. Log on to Student Connect and enroll (http://students.acu.edu.au/136953).
Student Connect is a web interface allowing students to complete their ACU
enrolment online.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Failure to enroll or re-enroll before the published due dates for re-enrolment on the

3. Program Information
The Bachelor of Accounting and Finance is a specialist three year full-time (or part-time
equivalent) degree offering a comprehensive course of learning in the theory and
applications of Accounting and Finance.
The course involves a core in Accounting, allowing graduates to be simultaneously
recognised as Accounting and Finance professionals. The aim of the degree is to
provide a comprehensive undergraduate corporate accounting education that will
prepare you for financial management roles in private enterprise, government, the notfor-profit sector and trans-national corporations.
Unlike pure accounting degrees, the Bachelor of Accounting and Finance offers a
broader understanding of financial instruments, institutions, markets and systems. It
involves the study of financial decision-making under uncertainty, which is applicable to
banking, financial consulting and planning, funds management, merchant banking and
treasury.
This course has been designed in accordance with the accreditation requirements of
the Certified Practising Accountants Australia (CPAA), Institute of Chartered
Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and Institute of Public Accountants (IPA), the training
standards in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory
Guide 146, and the professional recognition requirements of finance sector peak
bodies such as the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance
(ANZIIF) and the Financial Services Institute of Australia (FINSIA).
REQUIREMENTS TO COMPLETE AWARD
For information on the duration of your course, and the requirements to complete your
award, please refer to the Course Rules for your program.

BIPX100 Professional Experience A
There are additional Professional Experience Units - worth 10 credit points each - these
