It usually takes approximately four weeks to assess your advanced standing application. However, it may take longer during peak admission periods or if a high unit volume requires assessment.
You will need to supply evidence to support your application for advanced standing, including a copy of every subject/unit outline you wish to have assessed for credit, and a certified copy of your certificate of completion and transcript(s).
