Permission to Enrol Elsewhere

Permission to Enrol Elsewhere (PTEE) is the process of granting a current student permission to complete unit/s offered by another institution (that are not currently offered at UNE) and approving them count towards their current UNE course.

PTEE is granted at the discretion of the Course Coordinator who carefully considers whether, and how, the unit/s studied elsewhere can count toward the UNE course taking into the course's rules, course structure and any overarching Policies.  As a result PTEE applications will, or will not be approved, and the Course Coordinators decision about PTEE is final.

If you are a student of another University and you wish to study UNE units and have them count towards your degree elsewhere then please visit our Cross Institutional study information.

About PTEE applications

All Permission to Enrol Elsewhere Applications should be submitted to UNE at least four weeks prior to the other institution's closing date and must contain the following:

  • A completed online Permission to Enrol Elsewhere Form
  • A statement of justification for studying elsewhere
  • Unit outlines of the units you with to study that are from the year and study period you want to study elsewhere. These unit outlines will show what the units you are going to study will contain including the following: description of the unit, aims, objectives, assessments, unit weighting, a list of reference books and textbooks
  • A Cross-Institutional Admission Form from the Institution that you are applying for Permission to Enrol Elsewhere, as UNE is required to complete sections required by the other institution.

Policy information relating to the Permission to Enrol Elsewhere can be found in our Admissions, Credit and Enrolment Policy. In addition sometimes parts of other Policy such as our General Rules may also apply to support the Course Coordinator and UNE in making a decision about an individual PTEE case.

Selected UNE courses where study of some units is complete elsewhere

There are a small number of UNE courses that are designed to have some of the units in them complete at another University. For the UNE students enrolled in these UNE courses* where units will be being completed at another University, student's must still submit a Permission to Enrol Elsewhere application.

However there isn't a much evidence/documentation as is required for other students in other courses to obtain PTEE.
If you are about to complete the unit/s of your course that are specified in our course rules and program of study information but studied via another provider - then you are required only to complete Permission to Enrol Elsewhere Form and upload the Cross-Institutional Admission Form from the relevant institution.

*Courses include:

  • Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
  • Bachelor of Animal Science
  • Bachelor of GeoScience
  • Bachelor of Science
  • Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Law
Application deadlines

Permission to Enrol Elsewhere Application Forms must be submitted to UNE at least four weeks before the closing dates of the Institution that you are applying for permission.

If your Permission to Enrol Elsewhere Application is received after the four weeks before the closing date there is no guarantee your application will be finalised in time for the other institutions closing date.

On completion of your PTEE

On completion of your PTEE, please email via AskUNE either a current official academic transcript (showing all grades) that has been certified (stamped and verified by a Justice of the Peace) or My eQuals-Electronic Transcript. Mark the message for the attention of the Advanced Standing Section so that your advanced standing can be applied to your record.

Advanced standing will only be granted for passing grades which are equivalent to those of UNE, i.e. Pass, Credit, Distinction, High Distinction. Conceded Pass results (as they are defined in the UNE Rules) will not attract advanced standing.
