Changing programs
6. Transferring credit between UQ programs
If you're changing your UQ program, you may be eligible to transfer credit or receive exemptions for your previous study.
Academic credit is decided on an individual basis by the relevant faculty or school.
You can use the UQ Credit Precedents Database as a guide when applying for credit. It provides a searchable list of courses that UQ has previously assessed for credit applications.
For advice on academic credit, contact the faculty or school for the program you are seeking credit towards.
How to apply:
We receive a large volume of credit transfer requests at the beginning of each semester. Please submit your credit application as early as possible.
If you want to apply for credit or exemptions for tertiary study from another institution, use the online form (student login required). For advice on completing the form, watch our video.
Application outcomes
You can check the outcome of your credit transfer application by viewing your Studies Report in mySI-net.
A notation will be placed on your Studies Report if your application is successful.
If you aren't satisfied with the outcome of your credit application, you can appeal to the Associate Dean (Academic) in your faculty.
For more information, please refer to to the Credit and and Recognition of Prior Learning Procedure.
