Students with previously completed or partially completed tertiary studies should apply to the student administration office for credits and exemptions. The onus is on the student to provide course records and details of course content and duration (including extracts from relevant handbooks). Students in this category will be required to complete a course plan prior to commencement of study. Students may be granted up to a maximum of sixteen credits or exemptions. As a general rule, specific credits will not be granted for studies completed more than ten years prior to the date of enrolment in the current course.
Koorie studies
Students with previously completed, or partially completed, tertiary studies may be entitled to apply for up to eight specified credits or up to a maximum of six unspecified exemptions. In total there will be no more than eight credits or exemptions.
Appropriate credits or exemptions may be available for other university courses. Students who undertake studies in other tertiary institutions are also eligible for enrolment in the Koorie studies course. Cross accreditation can be arranged with the approval of both institutions. Students are advised to plan their electives with the course adviser so as to correspond with any intended future program of study.
Social welfare
Candidates who have successfully completed approved tertiary studies (either at Monash University Gippsland campus or elsewhere) may receive credit in respect of equivalent studies at the university. It is the responsibility of applicants to supply full details of the content of subjects for which credit is sought, together with official verification that these subjects have been successfully completed. As a general rule, specific credits will not be granted for studies completed more than ten years prior to enrolment in the current course. Relevant vocational experience may also be credited. Students are advised to seek information from the administrative officer (Social Welfare/Koorie Studies).
Campus structures
Students may not undertake studies on another campus of the university without the permission of the school. Students wishing to do so should see the sections on complementary studies in the chapter `Outline of undergraduate studies'.
