How to: apply for Pathways credit


Before you start

Before you submit your application for Pathways credit, make sure you're using the right form.

We have two types of credit for previous study:

  • Pathways credit – if you have completed a vocational or higher education Diploma or Advanced Diploma that is listed as an approved Tertiary Education Pathway, you may be eligible to claim Pathways credit. Find out if you're in a Tertiary Education Pathway and claim your Pathways credit online
  • Advanced Standing – if you have completed any previous study not covered by a Pathway (Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Degree level)

If you aren't eligible for Pathways credit, you can't use the Pathways credit eForm, you will need to submit an Advanced Standing application.

All Pathways credit applications are completed online through our eForms system.
