Undergrad Internal Program Transfer

The eligibility criteria varies for programs across UNSW. While many coursework programs are available for IPT, some programs that have other selection processes or criteria, such as undergraduate Medicine, won't be available.

To use the IPT service, you must be:

• an undergraduate student.
• currently enrolled or on official program leave from UNSW. This excludes discontinued, excluded, suspended or lapsed enrolments.
• a commonwealth-supported domestic student or an international student. International students should see this important note for sponsored international students.
• not in your final term of study. If you're in your final term, contact the relevant Program Authority directly.
• over 18 years old. If you are under 18, contact The Nucleus: Student Hub to complete your application.

Your eligibility depends on:

• your Weighted Average Mark (WAM) in your current program or your overall studies at UNSW,
• the units of credit (UOC) you have completed and/or are enrolled in,
• our being of GOOD academic standing,
• you having no fee blocks, e.g. outstanding tuition fees,
• places being available in the program to which you want to transfer.
• compliance with the academic rules of the program you wish to transfer to. See Program availability for specific academic requirements.

The following conditions apply to IPT:

• One program application per term is permitted.
• Not all programs will be available for transfer in each term.
• You must apply within the advertised application period. No late applications will be considered.
• As there is a specified period in which applications are assessed and a decision made, that decision cannot be delayed – i.e. it cannot be made after the assessment period has closed. Similarly, there is no provision for considering late results.
• You must satisfy the academic rules of the program you wish to transfer to. See Program availability for specific academic requirements

Generally you can apply in both terms 1 and 3, but this isn't always the case. See the section Program availability below.

During the application period you can Apply for IPT via myUNSW. However, if you are under 18 years of age, you must contact The Nucleus: Student Hub to complete your application.

The application periods are:

Your IPT application is assessed after the application period has closed.

The outcome of your application will be emailed to your UNSW Email account.

If your application has been successful, the email will advise you to go to the myUNSW My Applications tab to accept your program transfer offer.

Please note: You cannot accept your offer outside the acceptance periods:
