The definitive instruments for regulatory purposes remain the TEQSA Act and the Higher Education Standards Framework as amended from time to time.  \n1. What does Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning encompass?  \nThe Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021 (Threshold Standards) and the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) set out requirements for recognition of prior learning (RPL) and granting credit in the higher education sector.  \nThe primary obligations are found in section 1.2 of the Threshold Standards.  \nCredit is a recognition of equivalence in content and learning outcomes between different types of learning and/or qualifications. Credit can reduce the amount of learning required to achieve a qualification.  \nCredit may be granted through credit transfer, articulation, RPL or advanced standing.  \nFor the purposes of this Guidance Note, credit is interpreted broadly to include:  \n• specified and unspecified credit  \n• exemptions  \n• advanced standing  \n• credit transfers  \n• opportunities for substitute learning  \nRecognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment of an individual’s prior learning to determine whether credit will be granted. RPL includes formal, informal, and non-formal learning. The Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) Glossary of Terminology provides definitions on these forms of learning.  \n• Formal learning – learning that takes place through a structured program of learning that leads to full or partial achievement of an officially accredited course.  \n• Informal learning – learning gained through work, social, family, hobby or leisure activities and experiences. It is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support.  \n• Non-formal learning – learning that takes place through a structured program of learning but does not lead to an officially accredited qualification.  \nA provider may grant credit arising from RPL in different ways, including:  \n• as part of a standing arrangement between providers to allow for credit to be transferred when a student completes particular units or courses  \n• on a case-by-case basis.  \nA provider’s RPL policies and processes should be used to inform decisions about granting credit. These policies and processes should include considerations about:  \n• whether granting credit may disadvantage the student in achieving expected learning outcomes for the course of study or qualification  \n• maintaining the integrity of the qualification  \n• impact on variants of double awards (see Guidance Note on Joint and Dual Awards (in development)) .  \nFurther, any process for approving an RPL request should be grounded in evidence and academic judgement about equivalence of learning.  \n2. What TEQSA will look for  \nThe Threshold Standards places requirements on a provider’s processes and practices in granting credit and recognising prior learning. These include the following standards and criteria from the Threshold Standards:  \n\n| Part A: Standards for HE Providers | Key considerations |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1.1 Admission | • prior to enrolment, providers must inform students of policies, arrangements, and potential eligibility for credit for prior learning. |\n| 1.2: Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning | • any granting of credit through RPL should:\u003Cbr>– not potentially disadvantage students including in the student’s transition into and through their course\u003Cbr>– maintain integrity of the course and qualification\u003Cbr>• providers should grant credit and qualifications in accordance with its organisational policies and the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)\u003Cbr>• where credit is granted it must be identified on a student’s record of results and in a Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) if one is issued. |\n| 1.3.6 Orientation and","cbCaigZ4jpSoZLjb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigZ4jpSoZLjb","pdf",218183,"English","# What does Credit and Recognition of Prior Learning encompass?\n## Forms of learning covered by RPL\n## Ways providers may grant credit via RPL\n# What TEQSA will look for\n## Standards and key considerations for HE providers","[{\"question\":\"What does credit and recognition of prior learning (RPL) encompass?\",\"answer\":\"RPL is an assessment of an individual’s prior learning to determine whether credit will be granted.
