Application tips for Year 12 students

Apply for an early offer: Most institutions give you the opportunity to have your application for some courses assessed using criteria other than (or in addition to) your ATAR. For example, they might look at your Year 11 results. Many use the Schools Recommendation Scheme (administered by 91ÌÒÉ«) to do this; others require you to apply directly to the uni. Always check the institution websites to make sure the courses you are applying for are covered by these schemes. How to apply for early offer schemes.

Have your educational challenges considered: Institutions use the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) to take account of the educational challenges many applicants experience. If you think this might apply to you, make sure you complete the EAS section of your 91ÌÒÉ« application and claim all the circumstances that have affected your studies. How to apply for EAS.

Have a back-up plan: 91ÌÒÉ« always recommends that, when you choose your course preferences, you include a 'back-up' course; that is, a course you are confident you'll be offered a place in and will be happy to study if you miss out on offers for your higher preferences. For example, you could include a diploma course in a similar area of study as your preferred degree course. You could then use your diploma studies as a stepping stone to the degree: you may even be able to move straight into second year. Pathways to uni.

Tips for post-school applicants

Don't worry about your age: Entry to university as a post-school applicant is based on your results for Year 12 studies, the Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT), tertiary courses you have commenced or completed and, in some cases, your work experience. It is not based on your age.

Provide details of your previous study experience: It is important to provide details of previous study in your 91ÌÒÉ« application, including all completed secondary studies and complete or incomplete tertiary study (Certificate III and above).

Ask for help: You might be concerned about returning to study if it’s been a long time since you left school. Rest assured that there is a wide range of services available at all our participating institutions.
