Entry with Credit
You may already have some knowledge or skills that can be recognised as part of your intended study.

If you think you qualify, you can apply for Cross Credit (CC) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
- CC is based on the equivalency of courses or qualifications. You would apply for CC if you have passed a very similar course at the same level.
- RPL is based on the assessment of your current knowledge and skills. You would apply for RPL if you had gained the relevant knowledge and skills through life experiences and informal learning situations.
As part of your application you will be asked to provide details which you would like considered as credit towards your intended programme of study.
You must apply prior to enrolment. CC and RPL cannot be awarded for a course if you are already enrolled in that course. An original transcript or notice of results from the institute at which you previously studied (or verified copies) will be required for all applications.
