If you think you may qualify, you may want to apply for Cross Credit or Recognition of Prior Learning. • Cross Credit is based on the equivalency of courses or
qualifications. You would apply for Cross Credit if you have passed a very similar course at the same level.

You must apply prior to enrolment. RPL and Cross Credit cannot be awarded for a course if you are already enrolled in that course. An original transcript or notice of results from the institute at which you previously studied (or verified copies) will be required for all applications.
Cross Credits may be granted from other degree programmes and from sub-degree programmes such as the Diploma in Information and Communications Technology (Level 5) or (Level 6), and National Diploma in Business Computing (NDBC).
