Exemptions are granted on the basis of prior learning (formal or informal) where that learning is assessed as equivalent to the learning outcomes or competencies of one or more PIBT units. Exemption (also called Unit Credit) releases a student from having to undertake one or more units within his/her course.


All Applications for Exemptions must be submitted before Week 4 of the semester. Applications received after Week 4 will be processed but will not qualify for a fee refund if the student is already enrolled in that unit.  Exemptions for Diploma level units are subject to approval from ECU.
