Your experience counts
If you've studied at university or another post-secondary institution before, you may be eligible for credit for some or all of your studies when you enrol in a La Trobe course. (The relevant La Trobe faculty determines your eligibility when you actually enrol.)
A request for credit is considered only after a student has been offered a place, accepted it and completed the enrolment procedures.
In general, credits for subjects already passed are granted when it is considered that they are equivalent in content and standard to those currently offered by the University and when they are of relevance to the students planned course of study.
At La Trobe University, credit is known as advanced standing. Each faculty has different policies in respect to the number and type of units and work experience eligible for advanced standing.
Students wishing to apply for advanced standing should lodge an Application for Advanced Standing [PDF 1.8MB], together with relevant documentation to their Faculty Office. The Application for Advanced Standing form must be lodged before the start of the Teaching Period.
Contact your relevant faculty office for further advice.
