YEAR 9 - 11 STUDENTS:
University - early admission programs Link: https://www.sjecareers.com.au/important-information/school-newsletters
Did you know that at some universities, you can apply for programs that enable you to receive an offer before your final Year 12 results are released?
These are called ‘early admission’ programs and they provide a way for universities to take into consideration factors other than just your ATAR for admission into courses.
Some universities take into consideration your Year 11 results for university entry. This is very important to know for students starting Year 11, finishing Year 11, or advancing into Year 11 subjects.
Students with a successful early entry application may receive a ‘conditional’ or ‘unconditional offer’.
Conditional offer
Means that you will need to meet additional criteria to receive an offer such as a minimum ATAR and/or achieve subject and study score prerequisites.
Unconditional offer
Means as long as you complete Year 12 and achieve the course prerequisites, you will receive an offer (the ATAR will not be taken into consideration).
Year 11 results - examples
The following are examples of universities that take into consideration Year 11 results:
Australian Catholic University
ACU Guarantee
Charles Sturt University
Charles Sturt Advantage
La Trobe University
Year 11 Conditional Offer

Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS)
This is an umbrella program that covers several institutes in NSW and Canberra.
Example
Harry works very hard during Year 11 in 2022 and achieves strong grades. He applies for the Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Charles Sturt University via the Charles Sturt Advantage program in April 2023 (during Year 12).
The university is impressed with his Year 11 grades as well as his Advantage application and makes him a course offer in June.
Harry just has to complete and pass Year 12. He does this and then starts the Bachelor of Physiotherapy in Semester 1, 2024.
