Some 91ÌÒÉ« institutions may increase your selection rank in recognition of your performance in Year 12 subjects that are relevant to the course for which you have applied. These used to be referred to as ‘subject bonus points’. You usually have to achieve the equivalent of an HSC Band 5 or 6 to be eligible for subject adjustments.

In most cases, this is an automatic process.

If you're an interstate student, you can check which NSW HSC subjects are comparable to your Year 12 subjects, and how results in your subjects compare to results in NSW HSC subjects: compare your Year 12 courses and results to NSW HSC courses and results.

Note that IB students and Queensland students with an ATAR who upload PDF results to their application will need to contact institutions to have subject adjustment factors allocated to them; subject adjustment factors are not automatically applied to results provided to 91ÌÒÉ« by applicants.

Some 91ÌÒÉ« institutions increase your selection rank if you live in a designated region, others increase your selection rank if you attend school in a designated region, and some institutions do both. These are location adjustments and they are awarded automatically – you do not need to apply separately.

These institutions allocate location adjustments based on where you live (ie your permanent address):

• Australian Catholic University
• CQUniversity
• Charles Sturt University
• Griffith University
• La Trobe University
• Macquarie University
• University of New England
• University of Newcastle (midwifery courses only)
• Western Sydney University.

These institutions allocate location adjustments based on your school:

• Australian Catholic University
• Charles Sturt University
• Southern Cross University
• University of Newcastle
• University of Wollongong
• Western Sydney University.

To be eligible for Educational Access Scheme consideration your educational performance must have been negatively affected during Year 11 and/or 12 or equivalent, due to circumstances beyond your control and choosing.

Institutions use the Educational Access Scheme to make offers of admission in one of two ways. They:

• increase your selection rank, or
• set aside a certain number of places for Educational Access Scheme applicants.

Unlike subject or location adjustment factor schemes, 91ÌÒÉ« does not disclose to applicants details of how their EAS application is considered in conjunction with their university application.

An increase to your selection rank as a result of your EAS application doesn’t guarantee you entry to an institution or course; you still need to meet any published lowest selection rank and compete with all other applicants for a place.

How to apply for the Educational Access Scheme.

Institutions recognise that rehearsal, training or competitive commitments can affect your Year 12 studies. Some will consider this when selecting applicants.

You need to apply directly to each institution to let them know about your circumstances: this is not part of your 91ÌÒÉ« application. Check the institution websites for details.
