Entry requirements
Students should have a mathematical knowledge equal to a passing grade in Queensland Maths B or an interstate or TAFE equivalent. If you do not have this requirement Transition Maths 2 is deemed equivalent to Maths B. You may also need to do Transition Maths 1 before commencing Transition Maths 2. You can contact the CQUniversity Maths Learning Centre to discuss your previous maths history to determine if you need to do both Transition Maths 1 and 2.

Application for credit transfer
Credit transfer will only be granted where a student is able to demonstrate that tertiary studies equivalent in content and depth to the CQUniversity program has been successfully completed. Students should examine the course synopses in this handbook to determine the courses from which they may be able to claim exception.
We are unable to assess credit transfer until potential students accept an offer to study with the University, however you are welcome to do a self assessment by using our credit transfer kit which can be found at: http://fseh.cqu.edu.au/FCWViewer/getFile.do?id=4742.
Please note that past studies over 10 years are not normally considered unless the applicant can supply certified documents showing that they have been continually using the required skills in the work force. Generally only TAFE diploma level is recognised for credit at tertiary level.
If your previous studies have been undertaken at CQUniversity a copy of your unofficial transcript will be sufficient proof of completion, however, if your studies were undertaken elsewhere you will have to supply a certified copy of your results plus the relevant course synopses for those courses you are claiming exemption.
In the case of recognition of competencies you must provide example of work undertaken, clearly certified by your manager, against each course you believe the competencies cover.
In both cases please do not send original documentation - all evidence should be certified copies only.
Computer requirements
It is a requirement of enrolment in this program that all students have access to the CQUniversity website via the Internet. Students may be required to undertake various components of study in the program using email and the Internet.
