1 Articulation Pathways Guide This Articulation Pathways Guide is for anyone interested in applying to an undergraduate degree at Holmesglen after post-secondary studies either at Holmesglen or another Australian TAFE or similar institution. Pathways are developed in response to Holmesglen s commitment to ongoing learning and the recognition of a range of entry and exit points to courses which encourages students to fulfil their potential. What is an articulation pathway? Articulation pathway arrangements enable students to progress from a completed qualification to another with admission and/or credit in a defined qualification pathway. Whether you are a TAFE student or someone looking to return to study after some time away, options exist to assist you in successfully entering higher education through a defined articulation pathway. You can often receive credit (known as Advanced Standing) towards a related higher education degree. Use this guide to find the right option for you. It provides information on how much credit your previous studies may give you towards a degree. Use this Guide in conjunction with the online course information available at Articulation Design Principles To maximise opportunities for students, during the design process of Holmesglen s higher education courses consideration is given to articulation pathways. These pathways include articulation from vocational education and training courses offered by Holmesglen and other registered training organisations into Holmesglen s higher education courses where appropriate. The following principles will apply to undergraduate qualifications: up to 66.6% credit for an Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree when linked to a three-year Bachelor Degree up to 50% credit for an Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree when linked to a four-year Bachelor Degree up to 33% credit for a Diploma when linked to a three-year Bachelor Degree up to 25% credit for a Diploma when linked to a four-year Bachelor Degree. The maximum amount of external credit based on a completed course at the same or higher level is normally: 66.6% when linked to a three-year Bachelor Degree. The minimum qualification level recognised by Holmesglen for credit into Holmesglen higher education courses is normally AQF Diploma level. The following principal will apply to post graduate qualifications: a maximum of 50% credit. The maximum amount of credit is normally based on a course completed within the previous ten years. The maximum amount of credit may be lower in some instances in accordance with professional body accreditation requirements.
