Entry with Credit
You may already have some knowledge or skills that can be recognised as part of your intended study. This may take a number of different forms including study while at high school, study at a private training establishment, workplace training or other tertiary study. If you think you may qualify, you may want to apply for Cross Credit (CC).
- CC is based in the equivalency of courses or qualifications. You would apply for CC if you have passed a very similar course at the same level.
You will be asked to provide details of anything that you would like to be considered as credit toward your intended programme of study, as part of your application.
You must apply prior to enrolment. CC 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.
For further information and enquiries about Cross Credit, please contact the Programme Coordinator, Nikki Lloyd, on 06 830 1172 or [email protected].
