Prior learning and work experience.

As a higher education provider, мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע has established policies under which students may apply for credit into their мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע courses. This is usually on the basis of formal higher education studies that have been successfully completed prior to enrolment at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע and are assessed as being comparable with мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע course requirements. Credit may also be granted under the provisions of recognition of prior learning (RPL) and recognised current competency (RCC).

This involves an assessment of the learnings and competencies obtained through previous formal training, work experiences and/or life experiences against the content and learning outcomes contained in мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע units of study.

The мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע Transfer of Credit policies explain the framework in which credit assessments are made, including the criteria that are used in determining equivalence with мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע units of study and the rules that apply regarding maximum amounts of credit, recency of study and time limits for course completion.

All policies that related to transfer of credit at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע are available on the page of the мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע website.

мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע has established agreements with various other institutions that provide for a guaranteed amount of credit into selected мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע courses upon the completion of those institutions’ courses. This is known as articulation. The principles that govern these arrangements are explained in the policy.

Information regarding the agreements that are currently in operation is available in the Articulation Register. Applicants who have completed courses that are listed in the register are not required to apply separately for inclusion of these studies into their мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע courses, but are granted advanced standing upon their successful admission into the associated мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע course. Applicants should note that the normal entry requirements apply to all courses and that the completion of a course listed in the Articulation Register does not guarantee entry to мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע.
