Applicants should accept an offer as soon as possible after receiving the Letter of Offer to ensure that a place is available, but no later than the response deadline which is indicated in the Letter of Offer.

Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning

The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) offers recognition of prior learning/credit for accredited qualifications.

What is recognition of prior learning?

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process that involves assessment of an individual’s relevant prior learning (including formal, informal and non-formal learning) to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.

Starting the process

The ‘Application for Admission’ form includes a question where students can indicate that they intend to apply for credit. Once an applicant has been accepted into a course they will be sent the detailed ‘Application for Credit/Recognition of Prior Learning Form’ to commence the process.

For more information on EIT’s Higher Education RPL processes please refer to EIT’s “Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning Policy.HE”  

Deferment

Deferment of an offer prior to commencing a course, or deferment of study once a student has commenced study, may be permitted for up to four teaching periods (i.e. four terms/2 semesters) for online courses, and up to two teaching periods (2 semesters) for on-campus courses. Applicants who wish to apply for a longer deferment must withdraw and reapply for admission in the same manner as the original application for admission, should they wish to commence or continue study at a later date.

Fees and Charges

Tuition fees and other charges:

• are set each year by the Dean and will apply at the time that a letter of offer is issued
• are subject to annual review
• may be varied to accommodate the financial resources of the student and the student’s country of origin
• are calculated based on the credit point value of that unit for tuition fees
• must meet legislative requirements regarding incidental fees and charges

EIT has an established scale of tuition fees as follows:

All essential learning resources (documents, software, kits, etc) required to complete the unit/course, excluding text books, are provided by EIT as a part of the standard tuition fee.
Some text books may need to be purchased by the student in addition to the unit/course fee, but EIT will endeavour to keep this cost to a minimum.
Where completion of a unit requires the student to pass an examination, the standard fee will include one attempt at the examination. If further attempts at the examination are required an additional fee may be levied to cover the cost of delivering the examination.

Fees for future periods of study are indicative only and are subject to change.
