ECU Early Offer Program
ECU will be providing early offers to Year 12 students for 2024 entry.
How it works
If you're in Year 12 and have a predicted ATAR, or you're completing a Certificate IV or a recognised university enabling course that leads to undergraduate study, you can apply for an early offer for an ECU course.
We'll use your Year 11 results to calculate a predicted ATAR and if this meets the requirement for your nominated course, you'll receive an early offer securing your place. This will be subject to you achieving WACE and meeting the English requirements and any other prerequisites for your course (where relevant).
If you're studying a Certificate IV or enabling course, or if your predicted ATAR doesn't quite meet the minimum entry requirements for your course, you'll still be eligible for an early offer. This offer will be conditional on you meeting all entry requirements for your course. That means achieving the required ATAR with your final results or completing your Certificate IV or enabling course. You'll also need to achieve WACE and meet the English requirements and any other prerequisites for your course.
What courses can I get an early offer for?
You can apply for an early offer for a huge variety of undergraduate courses across these six study areas. Please visit our website for a full list of courses available.
