The University of South Australia is a multi-sited institution in the picturesque city of Adelaide in the state of South Australia, Australia. Within the university's Division of Health Sciences. There is a high degree of course compatibility between that School's degree offerings and those of the Department of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences at SDSU.

The timing of semesters between SDSU and the University of South Australia is acceptably similar to allow students to study at the other institution while maintaining normal calendar progress toward degree completion.

• At SDSU the Fall Semester is normally scheduled from mid to late August through to mid to late December, and the Spring Semester is from mid to late January through to mid to late May across two calendar years. Actual dates can be accessed through the SDSU Academic Calendar.
• At the University of South Australia the First Semester is normally scheduled from mid to late February through to mid to late July, and the Second Semester is from mid to late July through to mid to late November within a single calendar year. Actual dates can be accessed through the Course Information home page.

Courses that apply to SDSU's general education requirements could also be taken at The University of South Australia, however, they are not listed here. A student would have to individually determine those similarities. Nutrition courses could also be compatible between the two institutions. They also would have to be individually determined in consultation with appropriate faculty. The appropriate site for discovering offerings in these domains can be accessed at the Course Information web site.

The following tables are presented as general guidelines about courses that are deemed by SDSU faculty to be compatible between the two institutions. It is possible that some of the course-availability information included is not accurate for a particular academic year. The specific academic calendars and course offerings at either institution for a particular semester should be consulted to confirm exact course availability.
