How it works

  • We prioritise applications submitted before the deadline, and in most cases these will be processed by the start of the semester.
  • If you apply after the deadline, your application may not be processed by the census date, which is the last day you can withdraw from a unit without penalty.
  • If you apply after the census date your credit application will not be considered for the current semester.

Deadlines for current students

Generally, you'll need to apply by the deadlines for each semester. However, there are some exceptions so it's important you read the additional considerations based on your individual circumstances.

Semester Deadline
Semester 1 Sunday 11 January 2026
Semester 2 Sunday 12 July 2026

Additional considerations

You'll need to wait until you've received your host institution transcript before you apply for credit.

If you completed a short-term non-exchange program in June-July 2026, we’ve updated the way to seek credit. You’ll need to follow the instructions to upload your transcript to your overseas study record instead – don’t create a separate credit application.

For programs held in December 2025–January 2026 or earlier, you'll still need to apply for credit separately. As soon as you receive your host institution transcript, you should upload it to your overseas study request so that you can be considered for credit.

If you're submitting an internal course application, you have two options.

Option 1

You can apply for credit at the same time. You'll need to do this by the deadline related to your internal course application.

Option 2

You can wait until you've enrolled in your new course and then apply for credit as a current student by the deadline listed above.

Requirements for current UAC applicants

If you are a new student who has applied through UAC:

  1. First, accept your offer for admission into your course.
  2. Apply for credit as a current student, following the corresponding deadlines.

Options for current direct applicants

If you're applying directly to the University for course admission, you have two options.

  • Apply for credit at the same time as your admission application. You'll need to do this by the deadline related to your direct admission application.
  • Wait until you've enrolled in your course and then apply for credit as a current student, following the corresponding deadlines.
