Credit for previous study
If you’ve studied at a TAFE, university or other post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for Advanced Standing, which means you won’t have to enrol in all the subjects of your La Trobe course. Your faculty will decide your eligibility when you enrol. All you need to do is apply for credit for previous study when you enrol in your La Trobe course.
