Seize the moment. Start midyear.

You can find out how much credit you will receive after an assessment by an academic staff member.  

If you have previously completed a full certificate or program at a different institution, you can check the  Credit Assessor  first as it may fast track the assessment. 

If you are an international student, you can apply for credit/advanced standing when you lodge your application via an Education Agent or the  Online Application System.

To apply for credit/advanced standing in the Online Application System, tick the box that asks if you'd like to be assessed for credit and follow the instructions about what documentation you need to provide. This includes:

• academic transcript curriculum syllabus (outlining the overview of the curriculum, weekly list of topics, contact hours, assessment criteria, textbooks and readings)

• curriculum syllabus (outlining the overview of the curriculum, weekly list of topics, contact hours, assessment criteria, textbooks and readings).

The supporting documentation must be certified official copies. If original documentation is in a language other than English, you will be required to provide certified English translations.

If your credit/advanced standing application is successful, your Offer of Admission will outline the credit offered by Adelaide University and the reduced duration of your study.

Key application deadlines for midyear entry are published on the  SATAC  website. Adelaide University applicants should check the SATAC Important Dates page for the most up-to-date closing dates, offer rounds, and document submission deadlines. It’s also recommended to review the Adelaide University program webpage for the degree you are interested in, as it provides course‑specific guidance and links directly to SATAC where relevant.

For international students, key application dates differ depending on a number of factors.  Please reach out to our Future Student Enquiries team  to discuss your individual circumstances and program preferences.

Some degrees offer part‑time study or online components for students starting midyear, while others may require full‑time and on‑campus enrolment regardless of the intake date, particularly for courses with practical or placement requirements. Applicants are encouraged to check the specific program details or contact the  Future Student Enquiries team  for tailored advice.

International students generally must study full-time as this is dependent on their visa conditions.
