Common Questions
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 after receiving your course offer and before your initial enrolment.
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, though you can submit a complaint to the Student Complaints Resolution Office or seek review from the Student Ombudsman if dissatisfied.
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 isn't equivalent to a specific UTS subject.
You need to provide certified official academic records, qualifications, and supporting evidence such as subject outlines, comparison tables, or portfolios. Non-English documents must be officially translated and submitted with certified copies. Official academic records must be certified and sighted as true copies by authorised offices such as the UTS Student Centre, a Justice of the Peace, or an Australian Overseas Diplomatic Mission.
Domestic students can contact UTS by calling 1300 ASK UTS (1300 275 887) or +61 2 9514 1222 if outside Australia. International students can call +61 2 8806 0230, email international@uts.edu.au, or send a WhatsApp message to +61 489 089 375. You can also submit an online enquiry through the UTS website.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
