Documentation showing evidence of date of birth, such as a certified photocopy of a birth certificate or driver's licence should be provided. Selection of students under this category may take into account special cases of disadvantage. Applicants wishing to claim consideration because of disadvantage are invited to supplement the application form with a written statement on the nature of the disadvantage and why this should be taken into account. Individuals applying under special and normal entry categories, may enhance their prospects for selection if they can demonstrate ways in which they have successfully undertaken some preparation for tertiary study, for example, Open Learning units, TAFE courses, return to study courses, etc. If you have exceeded the minimum entry requirements for your course, you may be eligible for Advanced Standing Entry.
Advanced standing is a collective term including both credit transfer and credit for prior learning.
Applicants who have completed or partially completed a post-Year 12 course at a university or TAFE or other approved tertiary institution may apply for entry with credit transfer. All applications for advanced standing entry are reviewed by a committee of the Faculty in which enrolment is sought. Faculties may consider qualifications which were completed up to ten years previously and approved informal learning, including relevant work or life experience. Applicants whose qualifications were obtained more than ten years previously may submit them for evaluation if they have maintained involvement in the area and can provide evidence of this. It is the responsibility of applicants to provide complete documentation to support requests for Advanced Standing.
