Uploading your documents
To upload your documents in your application, select the ‘Upload documents’ tab.
Download and complete each form, then scan and upload as a PDF. Each PDF must be smaller than 5 MB. If the file size is bigger than 5 MB, you’ll need to reduce it to upload your document. You may be able to do this by lowering the resolution of the PDF file and any images it contains.
Overseas documents
If your documents are not in English, you must supply a copy of:
- the document in the original language
- an English language translation of the document.
Your documents must be translated by:
- , or
- a translator accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI).
Transferring your documents to a new application
Generally, documentation provided in your previous ES application is insufficient for assessment of your current application because the assessment is based on current and ongoing educational challenges. Therefore, we suggest you provide updated documents that demonstrate your current and/or predicted disadvantages for your new application as your circumstances may have changed since your previous application. Email equity@uac.edu.au if you have any queries about this process.
In limited circumstances you can request that your documents from a previous admissions period (within the last five years only) be transferred to the current admissions period. We may ask for additional information if the transferred documents are insufficient or the information is outdated for the assessment of your new application.
Retrieving documents from a previous application
Documents submitted within the past seven years can be returned to you for a fee.
