Advanced Standing (Credit Transfer) and Advanced Standing Pathways
If you have completed units at another institution, or in a different degree at UNE, you may apply for credit which may reduce the time it will take to complete your degree. The University may:
- grant credit for formal study undertaken in recognised tertiary institutions in Australia, including universities, colleges, TAFE (Certificate IV and above), registered training organisations and overseas institutions
- grant credit for the recognition of prior learning.

Credit towards UNE Law Course
If you are applying for credit towards UNE Law Courses refer to School of Law -Advanced Standing Policies
How to apply
For applications relating to law units previously undertaken, you need to include a link to a web page from the institution or a course structure where you studied that law unit. This web page or course structure should indicate the list of units available as part of a law degree at that institution. The unit(s) you studied should be on that list. Only law units that are offered as part of a law degree can receive advanced standing. The point in providing the link or the course structure is so that we can not only check that the unit you are seeking credit for is offered as part of the law degree at the institution you studied at, but how the unit fits within the structure of law units offered at the previous institution.
When applying for credit towards a UNE Law Course you must submit the following:
