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 (Diploma and above),  registered training organisations and overseas institutions
  • grant credit for the recognition of prior learning. 

 

For more information, refer to the Advanced Standing Policy,  Advanced Standing Procedures and Advanced Standing Application Guidelines

UNE Students Transferring within UNE

When transferring credit between UNE courses you must submit the following:

  • Completed Online Advanced Standing Application Form
  • A Program of Study indicating for which units in your UNE proposed degree you are seeking credit, based on your previous studies (Please see the Course and Unit Catalogue http://www.une.edu.au/courses/)

Credit towards UNE Law Course

If you are applying for credit towards UNE Law Courses refer to School of Law -Advanced Standing Policies  

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:

  • Completed Online Advanced Standing Application Form (indicating for which UNE units you are seeking credit based on your previous studies)
  • A Program of Study indicating for which units in your UNE proposed degree you are seeking credit based on your previous studies
    Please see the Course and Unit Catalogue http://www.une.edu.au/courses/
  • A complete copy of an academic transcript showing all grades, verified by a Justice of the Peace. We do not accept individual result slips or web downloads.
  • Unit outlines including the following: description of the unit, aims, objectives, assessments, unit weighting, a list of reference books and textbooks.
  • A link to the web page of your previous institution which displays the course structure containing the law units already studied.

Applying for Advanced Standing for a Professional Experience (Practicum) Unit

When applying for advanced standing for a Professional Experience (Practicum) unit you must submit an online advanced standing application.  The advanced standing team will then liaise with the Director of Professional Experience Office about the application.

Applications for advanced standing based on a practicum undertaken whilst enrolled at another higher education institution (point 12) must be accompanied by a copy of the Professional Experience Report/s and a statement advising the number of days of practicum completed whilst enrolled at the other institution (point 16 – see particularly 16.3).

Applications for advanced standing based on current or past teaching experience must be accompanied by documentary evidence of satisfactory teaching from the school/institution. In the case of secondary teaching experience, this experience MUST be within the relevant curriculum area(s).

Advanced standing is rarely given for the first teaching placement of any award as a report on satisfactory teaching in terms of the Professional Teaching Standards is required.

Advanced standing is not given for work as a teacher aide as it can be granted for full class planning, teaching, assessment and evaluation with the person having full responsibility for all of these aspects.

Detailed information can be accessed within The Policy on Advanced Standing, available on the UNE Website http://www.une.edu.au/policies/pdf/advancedstanding.pdf.
