Recognition of Prior Learning - Undergraduate

Receive credit towards your degree

For UTS Law undergraduate courses, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) on the basis of previous studies may be granted in the form of subject exemptions. RPL is not granted on the basis of work experience or TAFE studies.

All applications for RPL for UTS Law courses must be handled through the Student Centres. Please note, it could take up to 15 business days to process RPL applications. 

Students studying within the Faculty of Law can now direct enquiries to Students Centres in Buildings 5 and 10.
