Title: Concurrent Diploma WAM
Post by: colline on March 28, 2021, 02:46:50 pm

Stop 1 has been very unresponsive so I'm turning to AN for help...

I'm thinking of doing a concurrent diploma in maths (statistics/stochastic processes) alongside my Bachelor of Science. However my concern is that I know concurrent diplomas have a separate WAM. My maths subjects has been my best in terms of scores at uni and I am worried that if I do a diploma, those subjects will count towards my diploma WAM instead and cause my science WAM to plummet. Can anyone confirm whether this could actually happen?

The maths subjects that you've already done will only count towards the concurrent diploma WAM if you cross-credit them, meaning they would count towards both your bachelor and diploma WAMs. Otherwise, they won't count towards your diploma WAM.
