Applying for credit is quick and easy

Have you studied at university before, or have a significant work history relevant to your field of study? You could be eligible to receive credit, fast-tracking your studies by reducing the overall time it takes to complete your degree.  

Here’s what you need to know about applying for credit. 

What can I get credit for?

Previous study 

If you have studied at university or completed a VET qualification (Certificate IV or above), you may be able to receive credit for past studies. You will need to provide relevant documents with your application. These could include:  

  • Official course outlines, showing your successful completion of relevant courses within the past 10 years.  
  • Official academic transcripts, showing your successful completion of relevant courses within the past 10 years. 

 

Work experience

You may also be eligible to apply for credit based on relevant work experience. If you'd like to explore receiving credit for your work experience, please submit your application first. Your Degree Adviser can then help with this process once your application has been received. 

Discovering your credit potential is quick, with outcomes typically reached within 10 business days. Plus, you'll be given your credit outcome before your application is approved, giving you greater flexibility!
