This page explains how course transfers work for Communication and Creative Production students, including what type of application you need to submit.

The correct application pathway depends on:

  • When you started your course (before 2026 or from 2026 onwards)
  • Whether you are a domestic or international student
  • What change you are requesting

Submitting the wrong application type can delay or prevent your transfer, so please read carefully.

When did you start your current degree?

I started my current degree before 2026

You are enrolled in an older course structure using 8 credit point subjects.

Because of this:

  • Many changes cannot be made mid-course
  • Some changes require a Course Transfer – Graduating application
  • Moving into newer courses often creates credit point shortfalls
I started my current degree in 2026 or later

You are enrolled in the new course structure using 6 credit point subjects.

You generally have more flexibility, particularly when staying in the same major, though credit point impacts may still occur.

Before you apply

Please consider that:

  • Credit point shortfalls are common
  • Your course may take longer to complete
  • Additional subjects may increase fees
  • International students should consider visa and CoE impacts
  • Completing 24 credit points of core subjects before applying may minimise credit point shortfalls

Before lodging any application:
