Advanced standing
Advanced standing (credit)
If you've done any previous study, including START QUT, you may be eligible for advanced standing.
Advanced standing is the way we recognise your prior learning. If you're granted credit for your previous study, it will count towards your course, so you won't have to study some units and you might even be able to graduate sooner.
