1. Submission deadlines

To ensure your application is processed before the Census Date, please submit your application by the following deadlines:

2. Late applications and financial liability

Applications will not be accepted after the submission deadlines. This strict cut-off ensures your application is processed prior to the Census Date (Financial Penalty Date). If an application is approved after the financial penalty date by the School, the course/s for credit will be removed from the student record with no financial penalty. We strongly encourage all students to apply as early as possible.

3. Before you apply

• Students are entitled to one Advanced Standing application per program at no cost. Subsequent applications for the same program incur a $125 administration fee. Pay fee here.
• We strongly recommend seeking enrolment advice from your School before applying. This helps avoid enrolling in courses for which you may receive credit.
• In accordance with the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council requirements, applications will not be accepted from Nursing students who have completed study outside Australia. Contact the School of Nursing & Midwifery if you have any questions.
