Specific information for transferring students
Applications
Applications from students who have previously undertaken tertiary study will be assessed on the basis of that study and their secondary study (HSC or equivalent).
If your previous tertiary study does not meet certain conditions such as level of award, length of enrolment and the institution at which the course was taught, only your secondary results will be considered.
If your results from your secondary qualification are not as good as those from your tertiary study, the results from your secondary qualification would not normally be considered.
Credit for previous study
You may be entitled to academic credit if you have previously been enrolled in another university course, at TAFE or at a private provider. This could mean that the subjects you have completed already may be counted towards your new enrolment, which in turn may reduce the amount of work you have to do to complete your degree course.
The decision about how much academic credit an applicant can receive is made by faculty staff, not the Admissions Office, and is usually resolved by making a separate application directly to the faculty.
Most faculties will be able to provide you with a general indication of the amount of credit you might receive before you apply for admission. However, a final decision would normally be available only after your application for admission has been successful. Since the rules about and procedures for applying for academic credit are so varied it is best to contact faculty offices about academic credit soon after you consider applying.
