Yes, if you have undertaken previous studies at another institution or have significant relevant employment experience, you may be eligible to apply for RPL. RPL can be granted as specified credit (subject exemption) or unspecified credit (unspecified elective/general advanced standing), and is assessed only after an enrolment offer is accepted.

International students are advised to apply for RPL when applying for their UTS course to ensure it is processed before the letter of offer is issued. You should also consider the impact of RPL on your course duration and student visa requirements. Applications made after the first session will only be considered in exceptional circumstances with a written statement explaining the delay.

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.

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

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