APPLICATION FOR CREDIT TRANSFER/EXEMPTION FORM

This form is to be used by students applying for credit transfer into an MIT course on the basis of prior studies.

Applying for Credit

To apply for Credit Transfer/Exemption, you must complete this Application for Exemption/Credit Transfer Form and supply an original or certified copies of your
academic transcripts including a key to results/grades, and detailed unit outlines or syllabus for each unit from your previous institution.

Types of credit
 Specified credit: Credit granted towards one or more units where a student’s prior learning is assessed as substantially satisfying the learning outcomes of the
specified MIT unit or units.
 Unspecified credit: Credit granted where there is no comparable MIT unit equivalent in learning outcomes but the level of achievement is equivalent to a
relevant elective requirement of a students’ course.
 Block Credit: Credit granted for whole stages or years of a course, such as a trimester, year or credit point equivalent, and may consist of specified or
unspecified credit.

Maximum Credit Granted through Credit Transfer

The Course Coordinator will determine the maximum credit to be granted for each of the courses under their jurisdiction. However, normally, no student will be
granted credit for more than one half of the credit points for the course to which they have applied for admission.

Credit application processing time

Credit transfer application processing time is 2 to 3 working days after receiving the application at MIT. A longer processing time may apply during peak times and for
studies undertaken outside Australia.
