EARLY OFFERS

All WA universities are participating in early offers to Year 12 students for selected courses. Details of the early offer schemes vary by university, so you should check with each university for further details. If you receive an early offer, you should check carefully whether it has conditions that you must fulfil, such as achieving a certain ATAR, or passing particular subjects. Accepting an early offer does not lock you in, and you can still add, remove, or change preferences on your TISC application, subject to closing dates. Not receiving an early offer does not mean you will not receive an offer in the TISC all-preference offer rounds. 

 

Alternative Pathway Entry 

The following universities offer alternative entry for 2024:  

  • Curtin University 
  • Edith Cowan University 
  • Murdoch University 
  • The University of Notre Dame Australia 
  • The University of Western Australia  

Offers are made based on Year 11 ATAR subject results, or mid-year Year 12 ATAR subject results, or by identifying that you are on a recognised pathway, for example through studying a Certificate IV or an enabling program (check the specific university and course requirements for eligibility). Some courses that have very limited places available will not be doing early offers 

 

Further information can be found by visiting the Curtin, ECU, Murdoch, Notre Dame, and UWA websites.
