Graduate Certificate in Legal Studies

Yes, if you have undertaken previous studies at another institution or have significant relevant employment experience, you may be eligible to apply for RPL. UTS assesses RPL only after an enrolment offer is accepted, and you should apply before your initial enrolment or as soon as possible after receiving your offer.

You will be notified of your RPL outcome via your UTS webmail account within four to six weeks of application submission. All RPL decisions are final as per the Admissions and RPL Policy.

RPL may be granted as either specified credit (subject exemption), where prior learning is equivalent to a specific UTS subject, or unspecified credit (unspecified elective/general advanced standing), where prior learning counts towards an elective component but is not equivalent to a specific UTS subject.

You must provide certified official academic records and qualifications, as well as supporting evidence such as subject outlines, comparison tables, or portfolios. Non-English documents must be officially translated and submitted with certified copies.

If you have applied for an internal course transfer, your previous credits including RPL will automatically transfer. However, for new course applications via UAC or direct application, you will need to request an RPL assessment after receiving your offer.
