Credit Transfer

We recognise the value of your previous study, work experience, and informal learning. If you’ve already gained relevant knowledge or skills, you may be eligible to receive credit towards your degree through Credit Transfer or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Credit transfer

If you’ve completed formal studies at another university, TAFE, or college, you may be able to receive credit for subjects that match those in your chosen course

What you will need:

  • Official academic transcripts
  • Subject outlines or course descriptions

We assess whether your previous studies align with Charles Sturt University’s subject content and learning outcomes. Credit can be granted as either specified credit (for a particular Charles Sturt University subject) or unspecified credit (for elective components).

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

If you’ve gained skills and knowledge through work, volunteering, or life experience, RPL allows you to have this learning recognised—even if it wasn’t gained through formal study.

You may be asked to provide evidence such as:

  •  A professional resume
  • Job descriptions or work samples
  • Certificates from workshops or professional development
  • References or third-party statements

How to Apply

  • Apply for your course at Charles Sturt University.
  • Once admitted, log in to your student portal and submit a Credit and RPL Application.
  • Upload all required supporting documents.
  • Your application will be assessed, and you’ll be notified of the outcome within approximately 20 working days.

Things to Note

  • Credit and RPL may reduce the number of subjects you need to complete.
  • There are limits on how much credit you can receive—some parts of your course must be completed at Charles Sturt University.
  • Receiving credit may affect your course duration, fees, or eligibility for honours.
