Advanced Standing is credit granted towards a degree program for study already undertaken at a recognised institution or by recognition of prior experience. If you have completed study including single subjects at any university or the University of Notre Dame Australia, you may be eligible for credit toward your studies at the University of Notre Dame Australia.
Before submitting an application, please refer to the Procedure: Credit for important information about applying for Advanced Standing.
Students are advised to submit an Advanced standing application on acceptance into a program and/or before the 2nd teaching week of your program. It is strongly recommended that students seek enrolment advice from their School to avoid completing a second application and a fee of $125.
Students are entitled to ONE Advanced Standing application per program at no cost and thereafter must pay a fee of $125 for subsequent applications per program.
In assessing Advanced Standing applications the School will take into account, currency; equivalency; relevancy; standard attained (uncredentialed experience); completion and total credit points of advanced standing requested. View the Procedure: Credit.
Please note: where Advanced Standing is approved, the Course and/or Uncredentialled Experience cannot be used for credit in further applications for Advanced Standing.

- Your official academic transcript(s) showing courses previously completed. (It is mandatory to upload a Certified copy of your Academic transcript or provide a link to your My eQuals transcript)
- Course Outlines for each of your previous courses (from the year the course was taken) that are being proposed as Advanced Standing.
