James Cook University Course and Subject Handbook - 2007

NOTE: Students are advised that JCU’s rules and policies relating to credit transfer towards degrees and diplomas will be reviewed during 2007, and the term “credit” will be replaced with the term “advanced standing”. In the meantime, the two terms may be used interchangeably.

The faculties, in line with the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee’s guidelines, are able to offer advanced standing, i.e. credit, to students who have completed subjects in other programs at James Cook University or at other tertiary institutions, or have completed other forms of prior learning.

This credit takes various forms. The terms used are based on Credit Transfer Principles: Guidelines on the Recognition of Prior Learning approved by the AVCC, December 1993.

The terms used are:

CREDIT is recognition granted towards meeting the requirements of an award course.

CREDIT TRANSFER is the granting of credit/advanced status by the faculties to students/candidates on the basis of previous formal study at another university.

BLOCK CREDIT is credit given in the form of exemption from a period of study, e.g. credit given for one teaching period.

SPECIFIED CREDIT is granted in the form of exemption from the requirements of a particular subject.

UNSPECIFIED CREDIT is granted for previous learning for which there is no precise equivalent in this University.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) is credit granted for learning outside formal study in this or other Universities.

FACULTY OF ARTS, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

RULES FOR CREDIT TO THE BACHELOR DEGREES

Subject to rules 2 to 5 below, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor may grant a candidate for a degree offered by the faculty, credit within the limits described below:

• 1.

RULES FOR CREDIT TO DIPLOMAS AND ADVANCED DIPLOMAS

Normally the award of credit towards Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas in the faculties is decided in accordance with the principles outlined in relation to the Bachelor degrees. Variations in requirements for a particular Diploma are outlined below.

DEGREE AND DIPLOMA SPECIFIC POLICIES

These apply in addition to those detailed above.

Bachelor of Psychology

Credit cannot be given for Psychology subjects completed over ten years prior to enrolment in the BPsych degree.

Bachelor of Social Work; Bachelor of Community Welfare

The Faculty of Arts, Education and Social Sciences has agreed to comply with the AVCC Credit Transfer Project Pilot Scheme Guidelines (1995-6) for credit towards Bachelor of Social Work and Bachelor of Social (Community) Welfare degrees. Accordingly the faculty will grant:

• for candidates holding a completed Associate Diploma in a related field of study and admitted to a four-year Social work degree program, a minimum credit of 25% of that degree program;

• for candidates holding a completed Associate Diploma in a related field of study and admitted to a three-year Social (Community) Welfare degree program, a minimum credit of 33% of that degree program;

• for candidates having completed two years of a three-year Social (Community) Welfare degree program, or holding a completed three year Social (Community) Welfare degree, and admitted to a four-year Social Work degree program for credit, credit will be granted at a minimum of 25%, and normally in the range of 25-50%, of that degree program;

• for candidates having completed one year of a three-year Social (Community) Welfare degree program and admitted to a four year Social Work degree program, a minimum credit of 25% of the degree program;

• for candidates having completed two years of a four-year Social Work degree program and admitted to a three year Social (Community) Welfare degree program, a minimum credit of 33% of that degree program;

• for candidates transferring between four year Social Work degree programs, full equivalent credit;

• for candidates transferring between three year Social (Community) Welfare degree programs, full equivalent credit.

In these guidelines:

A reference to an Associate Diploma in related field of study means an Associate Diploma program accredited by the Australian Institute of Welfare and Community Workers or recognised by the university granting the credit.

A reference to a three-year Social (Community) Welfare degree means a degree program accredited by the Australian Institute of Welfare and community workers.

A reference to a four-year Social Work degree means a degree program approved by the Australian Association of Social Workers.

In the Faculty of Arts, Education and Social Sciences:

The granting of credit is subject to University requirements for admission.

The granting of credit is subject to faculty policy concerning the minimum amount of study required at James Cook University before a qualification can be awarded.

The faculty may accept, for the purposes of granting credit, associate diplomas and degree programs in addition to those contained within the above definitions.

It should be noted that the Australian Association of Social Workers does not permit credit to be given for field education undertaken in non-social work programs.

Candidates in the Bachelor of Community Welfare degree may apply to the Head of School of Social Work and Community Welfare for exemption from some of the field placement requirements on the basis of recognition of prior learning and completion of a challenge test.

CREDIT TO THE BACHELOR OF EDUCATION DEGREES

• A. CREDIT TRANSFER is accepted for subjects completed successfully at other Australian universities and many overseas universities if they are considered to be equivalent in standing to the Faculty’s BEd (Professional Development) subjects. To obtain such credit, students must submit a certified copy of the results of such subjects along with sufficient information to determine the standing of such subjects. Credit granted will be identified as specified or unspecified credit.

• B. RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

  B. There is a range of ways in which recognition is given for prior learning.

  • BLOCK CREDIT of one teaching period is given for professional experience to two-year trained teachers who enrol to complete the Bachelor of Education (Professional Development) degree. Consequently, such students have to complete 36 credit points to be awarded the degree.

  • SPECIFIED OR UNSPECIFIED CREDIT will be granted for professional development courses completed by teachers. Because there are many types of such courses, different courses are considered differently. The way each type of course is considered is:

    • The majority of courses offered by outside bodies:

      SPECIFIED OR UNSPECIFIED CREDIT can be obtained for these professional development courses by teachers enrolled in a Bachelor of Education (Professional Development) degree. To obtain credit, a teacher will submit to the faculty the work produced on the course. The faculty will arrange for assessment of this work and determine the appropriate credit based on this assessment.

      There will be an assessment fee (currently $50) for this process which must be paid at the time of submission of the work. The level of these fees may be reviewed by the faculty from time to time.

    • Courses which are conducted within the quality control mechanisms of the faculty:

      All professional development courses developed in conjunction with the faculty and which are subject to the quality control mechanisms of the faculty will declare to prospective participants the credit available for the courses.

      In all cases, credit will be subject to the successful completion of assessment requirements of the course. The certificate of completion for the course must be submitted to obtain credit. The faculty keeps no records of these professional development courses so lost certificates cannot be reissued.

    • Outside courses with rigorous and demonstrable quality control mechanisms:

      Occasionally, organisations other than the faculty provide courses with rigorous and demonstrable quality control mechanisms. In such cases, through prior consultation with the faculty, indications of credit available for the course will be provided.

• C. RECOGNITION OF CURRENT COMPETENCE

  C. Recognition of Current Competence (RCC) may apply where a teacher education student can clearly demonstrate outcomes relevant to a specific professional experience component of a Bachelor of Education program. If these outcomes can be demonstrated, the preservice teacher will be granted advanced standing for part of the requisite 100 days of the professional experience requirement. Demonstration of attainment of outcomes may be in the form of professional experience reports from other institutions and/or statements of teaching or related service.

  C. The reports and/or statements provided should include information on:

  • the type of teaching and/or related service;

  • the length and recency of teaching and/or related service;

  • the learners’ characteristics, including age range and gender;

  • the subject areas taught;

  • the level of teaching responsibility, including the level of supervision by others;

  • the qualifications of, and reports from the person(s) taking a supervisory role; and

  • how the teaching and/or related service matches with the outcomes of the particular professional experience component(s) for which advanced standing is being requested.

  C. Evidence should be indicated on, or attached to, a Recognition of Current Competence application form available at the faculty office and submitted to that office. Applications will be assessed jointly by the Associate Dean of Education and the Director of Professional Experience in terms of the August 2002 Board of Teacher Registration Guidelines for Preservice Teacher Education programs. Recognition of current competence, if approved, will be indicated on the student’s academic record that can be viewed on Students Online.

AMOUNT OF CREDIT GRANTED

The maximum amount of credit granted towards the degree will be 50% of the credit points required for the degree.

The maximum credit allowable for professional development courses within the degree is one subject except where one course is judged to be larger in size than one faculty subject.

Credit will be granted for professional development courses smaller than a faculty subject. However, no credit will be given for courses smaller than 2 credit points.

CREDIT TO POSTGRADUATE DEGREES, DIPLOMAS OR CERTIFICATES

• 1. Specific requirements regarding credit are contained in the Award Requirements for each postgraduate degree, diploma or certificate.

• 2. Notwithstanding the limits specified in the specific postgraduate Award Requirements, it is faculties’ practice that a candidate who has successfully completed subjects at this University for credit towards a postgraduate degree, diploma or certificate that has not been conferred may be given credit for such subjects towards another postgraduate degree, diploma or certificate undertaken within the faculties, provided that the conditions of the Award Requirements of the particular award, e.g. those governing prescribed subjects and credit point structures, are met.
