ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ PATHWAYS

Prior learning and work experience.

If you have undertaken studies prior to your enrolment at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ, or have gained experiences through work-related or other contexts, these may constitute a pathway into studies at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ and be considered for inclusion in your ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ course through a process of transfer of credit or articulation.

As a higher education provider, ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ has established policies under which students may apply for credit into their ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ courses. This is usually on the basis of formal higher education studies that have been successfully completed prior to enrolment at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ and are assessed as being comparable with ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ course requirements. Credit may also be granted under the provisions of recognition of prior learning (RPL) and recognised current competency (RCC).

This involves an assessment of the learnings and competencies obtained through previous formal training, work experiences and/or life experiences against the content and learning outcomes contained in ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ units of study.

The ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ Transfer of Credit policies explain the framework in which credit assessments are made, including the criteria that are used in determining equivalence with ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ units of study and the rules that apply regarding maximum amounts of credit, recency of study and time limits for course completion. Separate transfer of credit policies exist for domestic students and . Studies that are undertaken on a cross-institutional basis while students are enrolled at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ are also classified as transfer of credit. All policies that related to transfer of credit at ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ are available on the page of the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ website.

ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ has established agreements with various other institutions that provide for a guaranteed amount of credit into selected ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ courses upon the completion of those institutions’ courses. This is known as articulation. The principles that govern these arrangements are explained in the policy.

Information regarding the agreements that are currently in operation is available in the Articulation Register. Applicants who have completed courses that are listed in the register are not required to apply separately for inclusion of these studies into their ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ courses, but are granted advanced standing upon their successful admission into the associated ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ course. Applicants should note that the normal entry requirements apply to all courses and that the completion of a course listed in the Articulation Register does not guarantee entry to ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµ.
