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 international students are advised to apply for RPL when applying for their course to ensure processing before the letter of offer is issued.

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 if dissatisfied, you can submit a complaint to the Student Complaints Resolution Office or seek review from the Student Ombudsman.

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 isn't equivalent to a specific UTS subject.

You need to submit 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. Documents 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.

International students should carefully consider the impact of RPL on their course duration and student visa requirements, as reducing the number of subjects through RPL may affect the length of your course and therefore your visa conditions. It is recommended to apply for RPL when applying for your UTS course to ensure processing before your letter of offer is issued.
