HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION

To successfully submit your application, follow these steps:

1. Fill out the application form provided below and sign the declaration.

2. Provide ALL the necessary evidence (refer to the list below).

Please be aware that ASA will not proceed with processing any exemption application until both of the above steps have been completed and the application has been submitted. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide evidence to prove that they have the acquired knowledge of the unit for which AS is being applied for.

The process of Advanced Standing enables students to seek exemption in a designated Australian
School of Accounting (ASA) award course based on approved studies from other higher education institutions.

Exemption in an ASA award unit means that students are excused from studying and undertaking assessments for that particular unit. It is the responsibility of the student to provide evidence demonstrating sufficient knowledge to meet the unit requirements through other approved studies.

REQUIRED EVIDENCE

Students are required to furnish the following:

• Copies of subject/unit outlines, including information on learning outcomes, weekly structure, topic list, assessment details, and contact hours/student workload.

• Verified copies of certificates and transcripts, with copies certified by a Justice of the Peace or originals sighted by an ASA staff member or an approved agent.

• Documents in a foreign language must undergo official translation into English.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

ASA prefers that the AS application is submitted at the time of admission. The last date to submit this
application is two weeks prior to the start of the course. The student will be advised in writing of the
decision 10 working days after the completed application has been submitted with supporting evidence.

ADVANCED STANDING APPLICATION ASSESSMENT

Applications are reviewed by the Dean or nominee. The student will be advised in writing of the decision 14 working days after the completed application has been submitted and received.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS

Applicants can only apply for AS at the beginning of their course. AS applications received by current students mid-way through their course or for units already attempted may be rejected.

ASSESSMENT RULES

Students are eligible to receive Advanced Standing for a maximum of 50% of the specified course.

To qualify, the unit for which Advanced Standing is sought must share a minimum of 80% content similarity with the unit studied at another institution.

Advanced Standing previously granted cannot be reused for additional Advanced Standing.

Any study referenced in an Advanced Standing application must have been completed within the past seven years.

The approved study must align with a comparable Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) level. This includes qualifications from accredited Australian Higher Education institutions or their equivalent overseas institutions, as evaluated by the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR).

Please note: While the ASA Institute of Higher Education take every effort to ensure that Advanced Standing for accounting subjects meet the criteria of professional accounting bodies (CPA and CAANZ), it is the discretion of the professional accounting bodies whether to accept the Advanced Standing granted by ASA. ASA encourages students applying for Advanced Standing for accounting subjects to seek advice from the relevant professional accounting body prior to applying for an exemption.
