Credit for Recognised Learning (CRL) or unit exemptions are given based on previous studies and are related to the major chosen. Units passed in previous studies that do not equate to a Curtin unit will not be exempted. No exemptions will be granted if the units undertaken in previous studies are not units relevant to the course nominated.
Please note:
Previous study or work experience is not assessed prior to lodging an application. Applications are free of charge and any eligible CRL will be outlined on your letter of offer.
Applying for CRL after lodging your application may delay admission significantly.To be assessed for CRL, you are required to submit your academic transcripts and award certificate (if the course is completed) from your previous studies. These documents will be assessed to determine whether CRL will be granted. Depending upon the institution where you completed previous studies, you may need to provide the course syllabus and unit outlines. CRL can be assessed as part of your course application and noted in your Letter of Offer for your course.
