Getting started
Entry requirements

02
A final-semester associate student may articulate while trailing no more than six (6) credits, provided the outstanding course is not from Year 1 or the programme’s major/specialization.
03
Equivalent qualifications and mature status may be considered in accordance with CCCJ/ECC policy.
