  1. Students applying for credit for prior learning must follow the University’s application processes.
  2. Credit assessments are made by assessors designated by the Dean.
  3. The Faculty will use relevant benchmarking tools to assess unit weightings, unit levels, and the amount of credit granted. These tools may include, but are not limited to, the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), the University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific Credit Transfer Scheme (UCTS), and the Country Education Profiles issued by the Australian government.
  4. Credit will not be granted for study undertaken whilst a student is on intermission, deferment or suspension from a Faculty of Business and Economics course.
  5. Professional accreditation may restrict the amount of and type of credit that can be granted within certain courses, and may impose additional restrictions with respect to recency of study.
  6. Specified credit will not be granted for units that contribute to professional accreditation requirements where prior learning has taken place more than 10 years before the commencement of a Faculty course.
  7. For escalated (stage 2) student complaints regarding credit decisions, the appropriate contact is as per details on the Student Complaints and Grievances page.
