For external-study credit at the University of Sydney, applicants should submit a certified copy of their official academic transcript and a course outline for every credit item added. The university’s cited application guidance identifies both as required evidence.
How to check the evidence before submission
| Evidence | Stated requirement | Applicant check |
|---|---|---|
| Official academic transcript | Attach a certified copy. | Confirm that the document is an official academic transcript and that the attached copy is certified. |
| Course outline | Upload the relevant course outline for each credit item. | Check that every credit item included in the application has a corresponding course outline. |
These are separate requirements: the course outline should not be assumed to replace the transcript, or the transcript to replace the course outline.
What applicants must still confirm
The cited requirements do not establish how certification must be obtained, which file formats or translations are accepted, whether additional evidence may be requested, or any fee, deadline or processing time. They also do not determine the amount of credit or the assessment result.
Applicants should therefore confirm the receiving institution’s current official instructions before submission. The University of Sydney checklist should not be assumed to apply at another institution without that institution’s own guidance.
