Depending on the Credits for Recognised Learning (CRL) application, students may be granted:
- Credits: Units completed from a student's previous Curtin course may be transferred to their current course, if the unit is deemed identical or equivalent in both courses or if your study plan allows for electives. The transferred unit will show on the Academic Transcript with the unit title, credit points and grade/mark that was achieved in the previous course.
- Credit Exemption: Credits are granted on specific units on the basis of relevant previous studies/qualifications or work experience. Such approved credit exemption will show on the Academic Transcript as the unit title and credit in the 'Recognition of Prior Learning' section.
- Optional/Elective Credit: Credits are granted on the basis of completed study or work experience, but is not unit specific. Such credits will show on the Academic Transcript as a specific number of credit points.
Note: there is a limit of 250 credit points of first-year level units (including credited units) in any bachelor’s degree and completed units can only be considered for credit if they have been successfully completed within the last 10 years.
