Applications generally take up to eight weeks to be assessed, however, during busy periods it may take longer (e.g. in the weeks leading up to the start of semester).
Assessment time depends on:
In most cases if you submitted your application by the application deadline, it will be processed in time for the start of the semester.
If you applied for credit as part of your course application, we will assess your credit after a decision is made on your course application. Applications for the upcoming semester will be prioritised.

After you respond, the links will disappear.
You can also update your application, even if you haven't been prompted to do so by the Credit team, through our online form – make sure to do the following.
If you're adding units of study to your application, do not cancel your existing application or submit a new application. Depending on how far it has progressed we may be able to assess the additional units.
If enrolment is open and you're waiting for the outcome of your credit application, most students should still enrol and select units of study.
It's important that you've selected your units of study by the last day to add and are attending classes in case your application is not finalised in time.
As credit is not guaranteed until you have received an offer from the University, you need to enrol in units of study you can continue studying if your application is unsuccessful.
If your credit application is completed after the last day to add, you can still withdraw from units without academic or financial penalty until the census date for your session.
If you applied directly to the University for admission to a course or submitted an internal course application, we won't assess your credit until a decision is made on your course application.
For new course applicants, if you receive an offer of admission and want to accept this and enrol before your credit is assessed you'll need to contact us through our online form.
We will issue you a credit offer for any units of study that we can grant at that point in time. You can then apply for credit as a current student for any additional units of study.
If you need to contact us about your credit application, submit a form.
