Please ensure that your application is received by the Credit Administrator six weeks prior to the start of your first semester of study. Applications received after this date will still be considered but we cannot guarantee that your credit will be finalised prior to the beginning of the semester.
While your application can be processed with unofficial or photocopied records, credit will not be formalised until an original or a certified/verified copy of your official academic record/transcript is provided. Examination result/notification slips are not accepted as official academic records.
Please allow at least four weeks for your application for credit to be processed. Confirmation of the outcome of your application for credit will be sent to you in writing by the Credit Administrator.
