| ARTICULATION |
ARTICULATION FOR VET COURSES (Certificates and Diplomas)
Most of the College's Certificate I courses articulate with the corresponding
Certificate II courses.
All the College's Certificate III courses articulate with the corresponding
Certificate IV courses, and where there is a relevant diploma, the
corresponding Certificate IV course articulates with this.
Most Certificate I courses may be upgraded to Certificate III courses and all
Certificate II courses may be upgraded to Certificate IV courses by special
upgrading work.
There is, however, no direct articulation between the College's vocational
education and training (VET) sector Certificate and Diploma courses and its
higher education bachelor degree courses. Changing from a VET course to a
higher education course usually means moving from Tabor level 2 to Tabor level
3 and often entails a considerable amount of upgrading work. A Certificate IV
is not considered to be equivalent to the first year of a Bachelor degree and
a diploma is not considered to be equivalent to the first two years of such a
degree. No modules in courses at different levels are identical. All the
modules in the College's Bachelor degree courses are level 3 modules and are
more complex than the corresponding modules in Certificate or Diploma courses.
The Certificate IV in Christian Studies course leads to many options for
students desiring to do further study at Tabor College. Modules can be
immediately transferred to any of the College's diploma courses, giving credit
for up to 50% of such a course.
Students who gain a grade of Credit or above, for level 2 modules will be
granted advanced standing in the corresponding modules in Bachelor-level
courses, and, unless they are granted block credit (as described supra under
Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning), will need to do upgrading
work in these modules in order to be granted full credit at Bachelor degree
level.
ARTICULATION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION COURSES (Degree+)
The College has commenced enquiries with several
higher education providers and universities to provide formal articulation
from the College’s bachelor programs to higher awards. The absence of
formal agreements does not preclude graduates from applying directly to
other institutions to seek entry into higher awards. Further details on
appropriate postgraduate courses offered by other institutions can be
obtained from the Registrar.
