All Year 12 students should have created their VTAC accounts by now including submitting their course preferences, paid for their account and applied for SEAS and Scholarships. If students haven't they need to ensure they register and pay for their VTAC account before the 30th September or the cost increases quite dramatically. 

We understand that there have been lots of issues with creating VTAC accounts and applying for Equity (SEAS) this year but we hope most of these issues have been fixed and resolved. If students are still having problems they need to contact VTAC directly as we don't have access to students accounts and can't check or rectify any issues. 

VTAC's number is: 9926 1020

The problems students are experiencing all stem from VTAC introducing a new system this year which wasn't tested fully. VTAC are aware of all the issues and are working to ensure they are all fixed soon.

SEAS and Scholarships close on the 10th October so students need to make sure they have completed and uploaded all required documents by this date.

Regarding scholarships, all Year 12 students should be applying. Students don't need to choose which scholarships to apply for, they just need to complete the scholarship application through their VTAC account. That will then send a message to all Victorian universities that they are looking for scholarships. Students will then be matched to the scholarships they are eligible for and hopefully be offered.

If you have any questions please feel free to email:
