Actually, hindi ata particular sa sectioning ng school ang ACS but rather course content.. yung sakin was mainly based lang sa subjects defined sa transcript pero assessed as comparable to bachelor degree naman ako with major in computing... hmmm, I'm assuming na kung comsci ka, dapat malakas hatak ng transcript mo... could it be na ung docs ang may kulang na nasubmit mo?</blockquote>
Hmmm, update lang dito sa statement ko na to... I came across one booklet na nidownload ko prior to my ACS skills assessment and it said:
7.1 RECOGNITION AND ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS
For assessment purposes, all qualifications held by an applicant will be considered.
Accredited and Recognised Degrees
"Accredited degree" means a degree awarded by a university to a student who successfully completed a program of study in ICT, which program is recognised after a documentation review and accreditation visit by the ACS.
Accreditation is valid for students enrolling until the end of the year specified in the list of Accredited University Courses for each course.
Unless otherwise stated, accreditation applies only to the Accredited University Courses conducted at the named campuses and locations.
"Recognized degree" means a degree normally awarded by a foreign educational institution, after successful completion of a program of study in ICT, which program has been –
accredited by the responsible accrediting body in that country, which is a signatory to the Seoul Accord, or
Evaluated by the ACS as being equivalent to a degree accredited by the ACS or a signatory of the Seoul Accord. These programs do not appear on the list of qualifications formally recognized under the Seoul Accord.
Through the Seoul Accord, the signatories recognize the equivalence of the preparation of graduates of computing education programs accredited by the signatories for professional computing practice at the entry level.
If an applicant's degree falls in one of the categories referred to above the applicant will be assessed as meeting qualification requirements.
If an applicant's degree does not fall in one of the categories referred to above, the ACS will use the current Australian Education International-National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (AEI-NOOSR) Country Education Profiles (CEP) to establish the educational level of the qualifications held by the applicant. Qualifications other than those listed in the relevant CEP are assessed individually.
A Bachelor or higher degree course undertaken by an applicant granted advanced standing, credit(s) or exemption(s) will only be regarded as undertaken where, in the opinion of the ACS, credit(s) or exemption(s) are given for equivalent subjects (particularly in terms of IT content) taken at an equivalent educational level in an institution of equivalent academic standing.
No advanced standing, credit or exemption given on the basis of qualifications from overseas will be considered in relation to an Australian Graduate Diploma or higher degree qualifications.

So while ACS doesnt guarantee points para sa educational qualification mo, it did went with yung "official" process of checking with AEI-NOOSR thingy in determining whether your degree is equivalent to AU degree or not (not just checking ung content ng transcript mo). So in a way, I guess unless may sobrang mali lang sa ginawa ng ACS, or may nakitang mali si CO mo sa application mo, dun lang i-ooverwrite ng DIAC yung ruling ng ACS to award you with lesser points... Since I think DIAC will actually do the same process (AEI-NOOSR) to check your qualifications if ever...
On my case, mas nakaka-kaba to kasi:
My qualifications doesn't show kung anong campus ang nagawar ng degree ko (main campus ba or extension campus) since considered as 1 school lang yun
Yung main campus is section 1, while yung extension campus is section 2 (weird kasi isang school nga lang dapat sila)
soooo... baka akala ng ACS sa section 1 campus ako nagaral bwahahah! tapos makita ng DIAC sa section 2 pala ako... bummer...
Anyhow, additional info lang para sa mga naguguluhan about ACS vs DIAC qualification evaluation... na, hindi namna talaga nakakapagpalinaw ng mga bagay bagay bwahahahah</blockquote>
tnx sa info na to... but still ayoko sumugal ng 150K hehehe... waiting for your result mam...
we all hope and pray that it is positive so we can all lodge through this path 🙂
Goodluck po.
