Step 3: Qualification Submission
In this step, confirm whether you meet the minimum academic qualifications and requirements needed for your selected degree program. For program-specific requirements, read Woolf Degree Programs and Requirements. Depending on your qualifications, you will either proceed directly or explore alternative pathways.

If You Do Not Meet the Minimum Qualifications
Depending on your college's setup, you may be eligible for one or both of the following alternative pathways:

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):
- While a PBA agreement might or might not be in place, you can still leverage your professional experience to meet entry requirements. This involves a paid review, either covered by your college or paid by you directly.
- To pursue this option, be prepared to provide your academic and professional details, along with supporting documents such as your CV, certificates, portfolio, and fee (if required).
