What is School of Record?

‘School of Record’ arrangements are common in the United States, giving accredited universities the ability to expand their offerings to students, opening up pathways for students, and supporting flexibility in study choices through trusted third-party providers.

Starting in 2024, any student who successfully completes an approved HEX course will receive an official, graded academic record (Certificate of Completion) issued by the University of Sydney. This academic record may be used by students to facilitate credit transfers at participating higher education institutions around the world.

“HEX’s efforts to engage with students who have typically been underrepresented in post-school study aligns directly with our 10-year strategy to increase participation in higher education.

We expect many successful HEX alumni will direct their achievements towards further study at Sydney and other universities around the world.”

What our hexies are saying

It all clicked when I found an entrepreneurship program like HEX.
This was a canvas where I could create the change I wanted to see in the world. HEX is really great at delivering the content in new and exciting ways.
Nathaniel
CEO, Future Minds
The program was very solid.
I learned a lot about how best to present myself and my idea. The program really helped me cement my idea and taught me a lot about presentation skills, which is something I'll absolutely use in the future.
Ben
Student
A program like no other!
Every school and student should definitely go through this. An opportunity for hands-on learning, growth and gaining insights into entrepreneurship.

These things cannot be learnt from books!
Beulah
Student
Thank you so much for experience that I will treasure for life.
This has been an experience I do not regret! Despite being anxious about coming in with a minimal business background I think I was able to gain so much more.
Angela
Student
I don’t need to wait to make my impact in the chosen space.
Out of the entrepreneurial extracurriculars I’ve taken, HEX was the first arena that enabled me to explore my own idea. Often, I’d do team based work or work on someone’s case idea.
Joshua
Student
Would recommend this course to anyone and everyone.
The program is just so useful and everyone should do it regardless of if you are an aspiring entrepreneur or not. It makes you look at things differently and consider alternatives to the norm.

Frequently asked questions

Do not worry, here are some questions we always get for our program.

What is School of Record?

‘School of Record’ arrangements are common in the United States, giving accredited universities the ability to expand their offerings to students, opening up pathways for international students, and supporting flexibility in study choices through trusted third-party providers.

At universities, recognition of prior learning for credit is generally approved on a case-by-case or subject-by-subject basis;  a School of Record streamlines the process for HEX students, and for universities as they consider applications for credit to be applied. 

How does the process go?

As HEX's School of Record, the University of Sydney will issue certificates of completion to students who successfully complete approved HEX programs.

The university has assessed HEX's digital and in-person cohort programs and verified they deliver equivalent content and learning outcomes as selected units – worth 6 credit points each (3-4 US credits each).

HEX will align their grading/marking of the programs to the University’s marking scale, and successful students will be able to apply for credit to universities around the world that recognise the University of Sydney’s academic credit (hundreds of institutions around the world!)

The agreement also provides for a joint management committee and a University of Sydney academic to be appointed to the HEX academic board to support consistency and integrity of the curriculum and student outcomes. 

How many credits can I earn from HEX programs?

You can earn up to 6 credit points (3-4 US credit equivalent) for each HEX digital and in person program. For example, if a student completed 5 digital courses, this would be 30 credits total (15-18 US credits).

The University of Sydney will serve as a School of Record for the following courses:

HEX Pro (Tech, Money, You, Future, and Innovation)
HEX International (all locations)
HEX High School Accelerator

Are all of the HEX Units delivery online only?

HEX Ed Innovation Unit is delivered both online, and in-person as intensive programs in Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, and Melbourne, with more international locations to launch in late 2024.

Who's Atlassian Foundation and what's the relationship with HEX?

HEX’s online and ‘innovation gap year’ programs are designed alongside industry leaders like Atlassian, in response to increasing demand for short skills-based learning.

A new approach to corporate philanthropy. Atlassian Foundation partner with some of the world's most impactful education changemakers and co-founded the Pledge 1% movement. The Foundation is a special part of the Atlassian experience. They empower their employees to use their talent, time and tools to be the change they seek in the world.

With support from the Atlassian Foundation, HEX provides scholarships to low socioeconomic students and underrepresented students in STEM fields. These students could now gain credit recognition through the School or Record agreement.
