Staff members processing RPL applications by faculty

See the list below for the staff members processing applications for the recognition of prior learning in your faculty. 

When you create an RPL application in Peppi, you need to fill in the relevant person's name on the application form as the person who will be processing your application. Once you submit your application, it will be assigned to the person in question. They can then forward it to another staff member or a teacher for a statement, as required.
