Pathways to university (credit for study)
Achieving a qualification through Tocal College will allow you to gain academic credit towards a university degree. This is called articulation.
The following articulation arrangements have been put in place. Students should note that granting of academic credit is based on the student’s individual achievement and on the mix of modules studied during the Tocal course. Each student’s entitlement to credit points will be negotiated separately.
Details regarding any of the university courses should be obtained from the individual university.
Universities that offer articulation include:
