Additional advice
Students are advised that INFS2005, INFS2024 & INFS3002 cannot be double counted towards the Business Information Systems Major (BUSN-MAJ) and the Business Information Systems Minor (BISM-MIN). Therefore, students must select other courses to count towards the BISM-MIN if they want both the BUSN-MAJ and the BISM-MIN to be listed on their transcripts.
Students seeking Australian Computer Society (ACS) accreditation for their studies must complete both the Business Information Systems Major (BUSN-MAJ) and Business Information Systems Minor (BISM-MIN), with a total of 12 unique courses studied. Students who have difficulties enrolling in 12 unique courses are asked to seek approval from the Research School of Management for alternative course choices (contact equiries.rsm@anu.edu.au for further information)
