Credit

If you have previously completed some study at a University level you may be entitled to credit. Please refer to the rules and requirements of your program as well as my.UQ for further information and to access the application form. 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. Before applying for credit or exemption please check the PPL and the program rules for your program.

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

Exemption

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 Precedence Database

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.

• Review the policy and procedure relating to credit and exemption in the policy and procedures library (PPL)
