Australian tertiary studies
If you have completed or partially completed a tertiary course, institutions may take any or all of the following into account when considering your application:
- tertiary studies
- secondary studies
- postsecondary studies
- and other relevant factors such as mature age, employment history or special circumstances.
If you have partially completed a tertiary course and want to transfer to another course at a different institution, you must apply through UAC.
If you want to transfer to another course at the same institution, check with your institution to see if you need to apply though UAC. In either case you may be eligible for advanced standing – check with the institution/s offering the course/s you have applied for.
For some institutions you may need to complete a questionnaire or provide a supporting statement in addition to submitting a UAC application. Read the relevant institution entries for their admission policy and selection criteria. Contact the institutions for further information.
Are there any studies I shouldn't include in my application?
The following courses aren't assessed by UAC:
- AQF Certificates I and II
- Statements of attainment
- TAFE statements
- courses delivered by Australian private providers that aren't accredited.
