51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL) is the measure used to determine a student's study-load.

The 51³Ô¹ÏÍø sets a unit value for each of its courses. One EFTSL is the amount of student load determined by the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø to be equal to a full-time load at 100 percent intensity for one student for one year.

At ANU one EFTSL is 48 units, or 8 x 6-unit courses.

EFTSL is sometimes required by external organisations or government departments such as Centrelink, as it provides a universal measurement of study load and is typically used to determine eligibility for payments and allowances.

Calculating your EFTSL

Your EFTSL calculation will be based on the number of units you are enrolled in.
