The ANU Extension program will conclude at the end of 2025 when our current contract with the ACT Government comes to an end.

If you are a student who is already enrolled in ANU Extension, rest assured that your course is running as usual with no changes or disruptions. ANU looks forward to working with the ACT Government to develop new, equity-based programs that offer young people the opportunity to experience university and help meet our shared commitment to equity.
