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, other tertiary study, life experiences or voluntary work. If you think you may qualify, you may want to 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.
You will be asked to provide details of anything that you would like considered as credit towards your intended programme of study, as part of your application.
CC and RPL cannot be awarded for a course if you are already enrolled in that course. You must apply prior to enrolment.
For further information and enquiries about CC and RPL please contact Sue Jackson, the Programme Administrator, on 06 830 1521 or [email protected].
