We hope you had an unforgettable experience studying overseas. Now it's time to transfer your credit points to your University of Melbourne degree.
Transfer your credit to your University of Melbourne degree
To have the results transferred as credit to your University of Melbourne degree you must submit your transcript from your host instituation listing the results for the subjects you completed via your application portal.
Some host institutions will send this transcript to the University of Melbourne automatically at the end of your overseas study or at the end of the academic year. However, there are some universities that require you to order the transcript yourself before you complete your overseas study. It is important you keep your transcript safe for future reference, whether it be further study, scholarship applications or job interviews.
- After you log on navigate to "Applicant" in the top left of the screen (click on the hamburger menu).
- Find your overseas program and open.
- You will need to look under the “Requirements” tab to see and complete the transcript questionnaire.
- Upload your transcript and submit the questionnaire.
Please ensure your transcript meets the requirements:
- If document is password protected, you have provided the password
- Document is a full copy of the entire the transcript front and back
- Document is the official academic transcript
- If your transcript is in a language other than English you must provide both the original language version and an English translation (where a translation was not provided by the host institution you can translate the document yourself)
Stop 1 will begin the process of transferring the appropriate credit points. Credit is only given for successfully completed subjects approved by the University of Melbourne on your overseas study planner. If you need to, please update your overseas study planner now. Any failed subjects will not carry credit.
You can expect to hear from the Enrolment team at Stop 1 within 10-15 working days with your credit outcome.
Once we have the transcript loaded into your file, we will begin the process of transferring the appropriate credit points. Credit is only given for successfully completed subjects that were approved by the University of Melbourne on your overseas study plan. Any failed subjects will not carry credit.
The time it takes to receive transcripts from your host institution can vary. Don’t worry if others have received theirs before you.
Completed your final subject of your degree while overseas?
Graduation or further study at a graduate or honours level can only occur once transcripts have been received. This can mean that your graduation ceremony may be later than you had anticipated. Information about how to organise your graduation can be found on our Graduations page. Similarly, if you are applying for further study, delays with transcripts arriving from your host institution may also cause delays with these plans.
Will my marks be transferred?
While you will receive credit points, there is no transfer of specific marks (only a pass grade) from study completed overseas, except for Honours students. If you are concerned about the implications this will have on future study, please contact Stop 1.
