Assessed mode
This option is perfect if you need to do enabling studies through the Community Access Program (CAP) and satisfy subject prerequisites for entry to a Melbourne course. You can also use these subjects to apply for Advanced Standing (prior learning credit) after you enrol.
Your study will be assessed and you'll receive results and an academic transcript. You'll need to attend all classes, activities and complete all set assessment tasks. If you apply under the Non-school leaver entry pathway, you could satisfy entry requirements by completing four subjects through the program.
If you're already a Melbourne student, you can also use the results to improve your current grades and prove academic rehabilitation in your degree. You'll first need approval from your faculty to apply and credit can't be applied to your current degree.
If you're not a student at all, these results can be used for things like professional accreditation. You'll need to first check what single subjects can be recognised by the organisation.
Non-assessed mode
In non-assessed mode you can study single subjects without the pressure of exams or tests.
You need to be enrolled as a student to study in non-assessed mode. You'll receive an NA (‘Non-Assessed’) grade for the single subjects you study and also receive a free digital academic transcript once you complete these studies.
If you apply for courses at a later stage, these subjects can't be used to apply for advanced standing.
