* In the standard five-year pass degree, it is not possible to gain full exemptions from IAAust Part I requirements; however, by overloading (i.e., taking more than the standard four courses in some semesters) or by using the College of Business and Economics Summer School Program (if available), students may be able to complete their exemptions from Part I. It may be possible to complete some of the Part I exemptions as part of an Honours year in Actuarial Studies (contact Convenor of Actuarial Studies). To facilitate either of these options, it is recommended that students undertake FINM1001 Money, Markets and Finance as their elective course.
