ACU National may grant credit or advanced standing for a student's previous tertiary studies and/or recognised prior learning. The maximum amount of credit which can be awarded is normally:

• Two thirds of the undergraduate program for which entry is sought
• Half of the postgraduate program for which entry is sought

Credit is normally assessed at the time of enrolment, not at the time of application.
Credit will not be granted for any academic study completed more than seven years before admission to candidature.

Applying for Credit

International students seeking to apply for credit or advanced standing should bring with them as much information as possible about the courses already studied, including certified academic transcripts in English with full subject descriptions.

Upon commencement of studies at the university, students should follow the application for credit procedure to formalise recognition for prior learning or any credit awarded at the application stage.
