Credit transfer

Credit is assessed by the faculty for prior learning that is considered equivalent to Monash University study. Credit transfer may be granted for previous learning in a University or TAFE course, or accredited course offered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or overseas equivalents of these.

Applications for credit transfer are to be submitted to Student Services by early February each year. Late applications will be accepted up until the end of week 1.

• Credit will not be given for units with a near pass or terminating pass grade
• Credit will not be given for studies completed more than 10 years ago
• Credit may not be given for studies completed between 5 and 10 years ago
• Credit may be given for units up to the following limit:
  • The student must satisfactorily complete at Monash University at least 48 credit points in the course, or not less than half the course, whichever is less. For example in the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (3 years full time = 144 credit points), students are eligible for a maximum of 96 credit points.
  • Admitted students transferring from another Australian Bachelor of Pharmacy may only receive up to 96 credit points of credit. This is effectively entry into third year, and is the maximum amount of credit that will be awarded for that course.

Granting of credit is not guaranteed. Each application is assessed on a case by case basis.
