Course transfer - graduating and continuing
Depending on your circumstances, if you wish to change from one course at UTS to another course at UTS, you may be eligible to apply for a course transfer.
There are two types of course transfers:
Important faculty specific requirements for course transfer
Some faculties have special guidelines regarding course transfer:
UTS Business
Coursework students must complete the educational and other approved requirements of the course in accordance with UTS Student Rules, Section 13 - Awards and graduation. This applies to students who choose to articulate 'down' to a lower level award and those in combined degrees wish to graduate with a single Business degree only.
While postgraduate courses are offered as stand-alone qualifications, they are also components of integrated programs of study that enable students who satisfactorily complete a graduate certificate or graduate diploma to apply for entry to a higher-level course within their chosen field of study. When a student transfers from one level of study to another, only one testamur is issued.
UTS Communication
Transferring to a Communication course and the application you need to submit.
UTS FEIT
Allowable course transfers for students in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology with the eligibility criteria and application method for domestic and international students.
UTS International Studies
Tranferring to the Bachelor of Languages and Cultures degree, and the eligibility and transfer process.
UTS Law
UTS students who transfer into the Bachelor of Laws from an incomplete UTS combined law degree may receive exemptions on a pro-rata basis, to a maximum of 42 credit points, from non-law subject options for subjects which have been completed as part of their previous UTS studies.
I've submitted my application. What's next?
You will receive an email in your UTS Webmail account acknowledging your application.
Application outcome
The outcome of your application will be emailed to your UTS Webmail account.
Accepting your offer
If you have been emailed an offer, you can accept your offer through My Student Admin.
Once you accept a course transfer offer:
- if applicable, you are required to submit a Commonwealth assistance form for your new course;
- you will be withdrawn from your course shortly after census date, subject to all pending results being finalised;
- any subject enrolment from your old course will be transferred to your new course (where applicable). Once your subject enrolment has been transferred to the new course, you can then alter your enrolment, by adding or withdrawing subjects. See How to Enrol for more information on enrolling in subjects.
Note: If you have received an offer through your Course Transfer - Continuing application, please do not lodge a course withdrawal application for your previous course. After the census date of the first session in your new course, UTS will automatically withdraw you from your previous course.
Recognition of prior learning
Students may be entitled to have subjects automatically credited to their new course. Course transfer recognition of prior learning will automatically be recognised where the subject number and version number are identical in each course. In such cases, the subject grade will be recorded for the course you have transferred to. Subjects automatically credited to your new course through course transfer will be included in the grade point average (GPA) calculation for the course you have transferred to.
In all other cases, recognition of prior learning is not automatic and an application for recognition of prior learning must be made. For more information see UTS Recognition of prior learning policies.
