We are committed to recognising the valuable learning that students bring with them when they decide to study at VU.

Transferring to VU

We have formal credit transfer arrangements with certain universities for some of our courses . This means you could get credit in some of our bachelors degrees for study you did at another university.

If it exists, this information will appear on the course page.

Use our course finder to discover if your previous study counts towards the required credits.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)/Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) is an assessment process that applies if you have prior study, or other relevant experience, but the course you're interested in doesn't have formal credit transfer arrangements.

The RPL/RCC recognises previous study by matching learning that has been achieved through study, life and work experience against learning that would be covered in specific subjects or units.

Students are encouraged to discuss possible RPL/RCC applications with the course co-ordinator at enrolment.

RPL enrolment forms

• Recognition of Prior Learning - TAFE
• Recognition of Prior Learning - higher education
