Before applying for credit or exemption please check policy and procedure 3.50.03 - Credit for Previous Studies and Recognised Prior Learning. You will also need to review the program rules for your program.
If you have previously completed some study at a University level you may be entitled to credit. Credit for courses completed in another program or tertiary institution may be granted for a specified UQ course, where the content and standard is deemed to be substantially the same.
All credit assessments are made on the basis of academic content, and credit is applied on the basis of the rules and requirements of individual programs within the EAIT Faculty. If you have received credit towards your program you will not need to study these courses. As you enrol into courses you will need to ensure that you have still met the pre-requisites for the courses you wish to study.
If you have any queries with how to plan your program because you have received credit, please seek academic advice from your school
The following guidelines apply when assessing eligibility for credit:
Exemptions are different to credit. These are given towards a course when students have completed content in another course that is incompatible. An exemption means you cannot study the course for which an exemption has been given, but rather you study another course in lieu of this course. The other course studied must come from the Course List for the program.
Credit Precedents are previously decided credit applications that UQ may apply when deciding subsequent applications with similar facts. Please view the information in the CPD to assist in completing your application for credit or exemption.
If you are changing from one UQ program to another, and have lodged your request via Si-net, you will be asked if you wish to receive credit. In this case, you do not need to complete an application for credit via myUQ.
If you have lodged a request through QTAC to change from one UQ program to another, you will need to submit the credit application form to the faculty.
Please refer to the rules and requirements of your program as well as my.UQ for further information and to access the online application form
Please note: applications for credit take up to 4 weeks for processing. Ensure that any applications are submitted as early as possible to avoid effects to your enrolment.
If you have any questions about the application process please contact the EAIT faculty
