Advanced Standing

SCI recognises that granting advanced standing for prior learning ensures that students commence
study at a level that appropriately recognises their previous learning experiences, and they are not
required to repeat within their course of study equivalent learning successfully undertaken in
another qualification.
The purpose of the Advanced Standing Policy and Procedure (‘the Policy’) is to recognise and
grant a fair and equitable amount of advanced standing for prior study. Additionally, this Policy
aims to:

i. facilitate articulation arrangements with other higher education and vocational training providers;
ii. provide fair and consistent opportunities for transfer between courses of study at Southern Cross Institute (‘the Institute or SCI’);
iii. provide a consistent approach to granting of advanced standing.

For more details on advanced standing, please refer to Advanced Standing Policy and Procedure.
