Advanced Standing is credit granted for:

  • Previous study completed at a different tertiary institution
  • Previous study completed as part of a different course at Swinburne

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is credit granted for:

  • Relevant work or life experience

This credit can count toward units in your current course, potentially helping you finish sooner. You can apply for advanced standing while applying for your course, or during your studies, up until the end of the first week of classes.
