Entry Processes

How do I find out more?

• Ask questions! Talk to your school teachers, year advisor and/or career advisor.
• Approach university staff (admissions officer, course advisor, and disability liaison officers).
• Consider the following: 
  • Minimum entry criteria required of applicants
  • Closing date for applications
  • Selection criteria of successful applicants
  • Where and how to make an application
  • What documentation any applicant needs to submit
  • Who to approach with any questions about your application
• Find out whether the course has entry criteria in addition to the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), for example: 
  • Subject pre-requisites
  • Auditions
  • Interview
  • Applicant questionnaires

  • Level of bands in HSC subjects
