General information
This application for credit is for the program you are applying to, or are currently enrolled in, as listed on this form. An original or certified
copy of your academic results and course syllabus (units, synopsis, assessment, number of hours, textbooks used) for the year the unit
was studied is required for all studies not completed at Federation University Australia (FedUni), including antecedent institutions.
The recommendation will be based on consideration of the date of completion, assessment, grade obtained, scope and depth of
equivalent prior study/experience and the similarity of its coverage to the course for which credit is sought.
Any information concerning credit will be provisional and will be subject to confirmation and ratification by the relevant Committees.
If credit is granted, this will be recorded on your academic transcript with a TC (transfer credit) grade, the appropriate adjustment to
your enrolment will be made by Student HQ, and where appropriate financial liabilities will be revised.
You should be aware that the granting of credit could affect study load and therefore eligibility for Centrelink payments. Centrelink
must be notified of any changes in study load.
International students should be aware that the granting of credit could affect your duration of studies. The university is obliged to
notify Immigration if the duration of your studies is reduced due to the granting of credits.
Students need to check with accreditation bodies such as CPA and ACS that their accreditation is not put at risk by the granting of
credit.
For further information, please review the Higher Education Academic Credit Transfer Policy and Procedure.
Basis for recognition of credit
Credit may be granted for study, learning or relevant experience in any or all of the following areas:
Credit Transfer: Previous successful study at FedUni or previous successful study at another higher education, tertiary or TAFE institution.
Cross Institutional Studies: Specific studies approved in advance by the relevant Programs Committee, which are successfully
completed
at another institution.
Types of credit
Three categories of credit may be approved by the Program(s) Committee:
Block credit: granted for whole stages or years of a program, such as semester, year or credit point equivalent.
Specified credit: granted for a course deemed to be similar to that for which credit is sought.
Unspecified credit: granted in the form of program credit points or equivalent, which may be used where block or specified credit is
inappropriate.
Maximum credit
Credit may be granted for up to 66 per cent of a program (measured in credit points). However, further credit may be granted in cases where:
(a)
Credit transfer arrangements exist between FedUni programs.
(b)
Credit transfer arrangements have been negotiated between FedUni and other institutions and approved by Academic Board.
Appeals
A student may appeal a credit decision according to the process and grounds set out in the Student Appeal Procedure.
