ATN Credit Transfer Statement

Students from Australia's five leading technology universities will be able to benefit from an agreement which will provide favourable entry and articulation arrangements for students of other ATN institutions who have studied related courses in any fields covered by the universities concerned.

The arrangements will be guided by the ATN Credit Transfer Statement of Protocol:

"ATN member universities will provide favourable entry and articulation arrangements for students of other ATN institutions who have studied related courses in any fields covered by the universities concerned.

The intent of this policy is that, as far as possible for courses in related fields of study, students will experience minimal disruption to normal progression in their studies by transferring between ATN partners. However, the credit received will be subject to course structures and to the admitting university's credit policies and procedures.

Member universities will use normal applications processes (direct entry processes or admission through the Tertiary Admissions Centres) for students applying with credit from a related course at another ATN member university.

The enrolling university will give eligible students first call on any Commonwealth supported places in their chosen course/program.

However, in exceptional cases (for example, where the university is the sole State provider for a course with high community demand, or for courses with extremely limited intakes), the relevant university may place restrictions on first-call Commonwealth supported places"
