Graduate Diploma in Sport Management

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 the assessment considers factors such as currency of knowledge, relevance of prior learning, learning outcomes, volume of learning, and content of study.

As a domestic student, you should submit your RPL application after receiving a course offer and before your initial enrolment. For late UAC offers, submit your application at enrolment or as soon as possible, but no later than one week after the start of the teaching session.

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 at UTS 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. Subject substitution may also be offered as an alternative.

When applying for RPL, you must provide certified official academic records and qualifications, along with 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.
