Advanced Standing
If you have completed units at postgraduate level 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 and overseas institutions.
Future Applicants
If you are applying for credit and you are currently enrolled in a course and will not receive results before the closing date for online admission, please apply for all units, even the ones you are currently enrolled in at the other institution. Once you have completed all units you need to provide a completed certified transcript. Please note advanced standing will not be finalised until the complete transcript is received.
UNE Students Transferring within UNE
If you are a UNE student transferring courses within UNE you must submit an online advanced standing application for your units to be transferred to the new degree. You must also include a study program.
Submission of the Advanced Standing Application
Applications for credit may be lodged at any time. However, applications lodged after the advertised close of online admission may not be processed prior to the commencement of the trimester to which you are seeking admission. If applications are incomplete or incorrect you will be sent an email to advise that your application will not be processed until you have resubmitted a complete and correct application.
