completed at least 16 courses (in total) that would have counted towards the Bachelor of Commerce.
Exemptions
Candidates for admission to the Bachelor of Commerce program may be eligible for up to 16 units of exemption on the basis of successful completion of relevant, equivalent undergraduate study from a recognised university or institution offering equivalent study. Exemptions approved in this program will not automatically apply to other programs offered by USQ. Students studying accounting should note that professional bodies such as the CPA and ICAA advanced standing policies are more restrictive so students are advised to seek current information from these bodies before applying for exemptions.
Claims for exemptions for previous study should be submitted prior to or at the time of enrolment. Each claim will be assessed on individual merit in line with the Faculty's Exemptions policies.
Note: Where exemptions are granted, maximum and minimum duration will be adjusted in the same proportion as exemptions, for example, where 8 exemptions are granted, maximum time will be 6 years and minimum time will be 4 terms.

Recommended enrolment patterns
Given the program structure information, students should plan their enrolment making sure that they have fulfilled all core, major, minor and elective requirements. Enrolment requirements must be satisfied before enrolling in a course.
As a guide, full-time students should plan to undertake eight courses per year and external students, who are in employment, a maximum of six courses per year, with a minimum of four courses per year. This is exclusive of any Semester 3 enrolments. Students wishing to enrol in more than four courses per semester must obtain permission from the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Courses are normally offered on-campus and externally in the same semester. If a course is offered twice in one year, the second offering will normally be on an external basis only. Students undertaking the Bachelor of Commerce may not enrol in any postgraduate courses, with the exception of students enrolled in the Personal Financial Planning Minor who may enrol in only the courses listed in the minor. On-campus students are not permitted to enrol in external courses unless the on-campus version is not available.
