Take charge of your learning with an ACU Online degree. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your study in a way that works best for you, with the option of timetabled courses that run to a set schedule or anytime courses that deliver the learning materials for you to work through at your own pace.
And regardless of the delivery method of your chosen online course, you’ll become a part of the ACU community. You’ll be taught by experienced online educators. You’ll have access to the full range of support services we provide. And you’ll graduate with a qualification that employers respect.
Study at a time that suits you with our Online 4T (4 terms per year) model. Across four 10-week terms, you can study your passion online, wherever and whenever it works for you.

Our Online MT (multi-term) model offers more flexibility and freedom over where and how you study than traditional on-campus learning. You may attend scheduled online lectures and tutorials, study online units at your own pace whenever it suits, or a mix of both – depending on what course you choose. Please note, some courses require on-campus intensives or in-person placements to graduate job ready.

Credit is when you can use your previous study, professional or life experience to take the place of an equivalent unit in your course, allowing you to finish your degree sooner.
Our credit search tool includes the units and courses from higher education institutions that have previously been recognised as equivalent to ACU units. Search to see if your previous study is on the list.
Even if your previous study does not appear in the credit search tool, you can still apply for credit. Understand the process: when you should apply, what documents you’ll need and how you can check the status of an active application.
