We recommend you apply for a credit transfer if you've previously completed your study. This can be from a course you've completed at CDU or another institution.
You need to have completed your course within the last 7 years, and it should be relevant to the new course you're studying.
If it's been longer than 7 years since you completed your course, we suggest you apply for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) instead.
Credit will appear on your Academic Record as either a unit (if the unit you completed directly matches the learning outcomes of a CDU unit) or as several credit points at a certain level. This is called unspecified credit and can be used in place of any general electives in your study plan.
How to apply
To apply for a credit transfer, complete and submit the advanced standing eForm (login to the CDU Portal, select eForms and select advanced standing eForm) with the relevant supporting documents:
- official Academic record
- unit outlines - specific to the teaching period in which the unit was undertaken and must include: aims/objectives, learning outcomes, assessment items, resources required and institutional identifiers (web links are not accepted, these must be converted to PDF before submission)
- Certificates/Diplomas.
Please note: if you're seeking credit for units completed at CDU, you don't need to supply the supporting documents listed above.
