Students enrolled in a Griffith University OUA degree
You may lodge a Credit for Prior Learning application when either:
- an offer of admission to a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) in a Griffith University undergraduate degree has been made; or
- entry into a Griffith University postgraduate degree has been approved.
If relevant precedents do not exist for your previous studies, you will need to supply:
- official academic records including an explanation of grades; and
- course outlines published by the institution explaining the structure of the course including level of study, contact hours, topics covered, duration of the course, methods of assessment and textbooks used.
The amount of credit you may receive depends on the amount and type of study you have completed.

Once your application has been processed, you will be able to view your award of credit via myGriffith on your Transfer Credit Report or Unofficial Transcript. You will be notified of its completion via your Griffith Student email address, and can access your application via the ‘Track my Application’ button.
Postgraduate and non-award undergraduate students will receive a Notification of Credit Transfer and credit will be applied to their record at time of graduation.
Applications for admission into a Commonwealth Supported Place are administered by OUA. Please refer to their website to see if you are eligible.
Credit awarded
Credit applications for future courses can be submitted at any time. However, student applications for credit will not be accepted for courses currently enrolled in if the census date has already passed. It is recommended that applications are lodged no later than 4 weeks prior to the close of enrolments at OUA. This is to guarantee a decision prior to the start of a Study Period, as the outcome may impact which courses you can enrol in.
Please note: these dates are different to those applicable to students enrolled directly with Griffith University.
