The Higher Education Leadership Institute is committed to develop open and accessible guidelines to grant credit towards a course of study based on prior learning, whether from formal studies or professional work experience.

​

If you have completed previous studies, or have professional industry experience you may be eligible for credit towards your course. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) applications along with the required supporting evidence should be lodged no less than ten (10) working days before the census date of a student’s first study period at HELI. This is to allow time for the application to be assessed and any enrolment variations to be completed before the census date.

​

If you would like to know more about applying for CPL please refer to the Credit for Prior Learning Policy and Procedure. Should you wish to lodge an application for CPL, please lodge an enquiry with Student Services to request to application form.  

​

Please Note: Students who have been awarded credit must accept the credit by returning a signed credit outcome, that will be sent following application processing. Students are also required to accept credit via their Letter of Offer. If a student has already accepted one offer, and then has applied for and been awarded CPL, they will be issued a new offer which includes any relevant credit/CPL.

​

Students who receive Conditional CPL must submit the specified conditional evidence no later than 3 working days before census date of the study period for the credit to be applied as well as confirming acceptance of the credit outcome.
