Processing time

Applications generally take up to eight weeks to be assessed, however, during busy periods it may take longer (e.g. in the weeks leading up to the start of semester).

Assessment time depends on:

• the complexity of your application
• the availability of academic staff to review your unit outlines
• the volume of applications received.

Current students

In most cases if you submitted your application by the application deadline, it will be processed in time for the start of the semester.

Applicants for admission

If you applied for credit as part of your course application, we will assess your credit after a decision is made on your course application. Applications for the upcoming semester will be prioritised.

Responding to a request

We may contact you to request more information or documents. To respond:

1. Log in to Sydney Student > My requests.
2. Depending on what you need to provide, select Respond to information request and/or Document upload required to see details of our request and instructions on how to respond.

After you respond, the links will disappear.

Adding documents or units of study

You can also update your application, even if you haven't been prompted to do so by the Credit team, through our online form – make sure to do the following.

• For additional supporting documents, attach the documents.
• For additional units of study, include the unit of study code and name, then attach your course outlines. You do not need to attach course outlines for units completed at the ±¬ÁÏÍõ.

If you're adding units of study to your application, do not cancel your existing application or submit a new application. Depending on how far it has progressed we may be able to assess the additional units.

Enrolling while you wait for an outcome

If enrolment is open and you're waiting for the outcome of your credit application, most students should still enrol and select units of study.

It's important that you've selected your units of study by the last day to add and are attending classes in case your application is not finalised in time.

As credit is not guaranteed until you have received an offer from the University, you need to enrol in units of study you can continue studying if your application is unsuccessful.

If your credit application is completed after the last day to add, you can still withdraw from units without academic or financial penalty until the census date for your session.

Accepting an offer of admission

When we assess your credit application

If you applied directly to the University or submitted an internal course application, we will assess your credit application after your admission outcome has been finalised.

When to accept your admissions offer

In most cases, you will need to wait until your credit application has been assessed before accepting your admission offer.

If you would like to accept your offer and enrol before your credit assessment is completed, contact us using the form.

We will either:

• issue credit for any units that can be assessed at that time, or
• withdraw your credit application so you can proceed with accepting your admission offer. 

Once enrolled, you can apply for credit as a current student for any remaining units.
