VTAC Webinars for Students & Parents/Guardians

VTAC - SEAS (Special Entry Access Scheme) & Scholarships

The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) is the VTAC special consideration application for circumstances that have made it hard for you to do your best at study. There are 4 different SEAS categories, and you can apply for as many as you feel are relevant to your circumstances.

We strongly recommend ALL students applying for tertiary study through VTAC submit a SEAS application – all students are eligible to apply for Category 1.

It's best to get started early, as most categories require additional evidence about the circumstances. Read below for information about the requirements for each category.

Students who will be submitting supporting documentation must submit this through the VTAC website by 5pm, Fri 20 September if they wish for VTAC to review the documentation.  Final cut-off date for SEAS applications and submission of documentation is 5pm, 11th October.
