Recognition of Prior Learning

    I’m interested in doing a 2 year masters degree, but 2 of the core modules are the exact same modules I completed during my undergrad as electives, the module code has changed slightly but the course content is exactly the same (or so it seems from reading the module info on sis web).

    I was wondering what was does recognition of prior learning (RPL) work? Will your previous grade from the module in question be used to calculate final GPA, or will your final result be calculated from your remaking modules? So if the masters has 12 core modules and I get approved for RPL for the 2 modules I already completed, will my GPA be calculated from the remaining 10?

    Thanks!

    You should be able to carry over those modules but I'm not sure on the GPA side of things.
    I suggest sending an email to the post grad admin person of your school. If you're unsure who that is just send an email to the school office and see who gets back to you. They're normally very nice and respond fast.
