Applications for transfer of credit are dealt with in accordance with the College’s Academic Credit Policy and the principles outlined in ‘AQF Qualifications Pathways Policy’, Australian Qualifications Framework. 2nd ed. January 2013.
Assessment of applications for credit takes account of equivalence of learning outcomes, volume of learning, content and learning and assessment approaches.
Determinations of advanced standing to be granted are made by the Learning and Teaching Committee (L&TC). Decisions are based on formal academic transcripts supplied by the applicant's previous institution and details of subjects set out in the academic handbook of the institution concerned.
The decision of the L&TC is final with respect to applications for credit transfer.
Pathways to further study are possible with the consequent vocational possibilities. In the case of mature age entry prior learning is a consideration contributing towards entry to the courses where the applicant does not meet the normal admission requirements outlined above. However, such prior learning does not gain credit.
Students seeking articulation into the Advanced Diploma of Bible, Mission and Ministry must complete the full admissions process including full application form, references and interview.
