Coding notes

​Refer to Appendix C – Standard Australian Classification of Countries

The primary country is the country of study in which the student will receive the most credit.  If a student receives equal amounts of credit for study in different countries, the primary country is the first country in which the student receives credit.

Any country that the student will visit but will not receive credit for overseas study is disregarded.
