VTAC
Webinars:
VTAC are continuously hosting a series of webinars for students on topics ranging from career specific industries, to receiving offers and unpacking your ATAR. They are a great resource for students and parents. For the most updated list of webinars, follow the link:
VTAC Accounts:
All year 12 students are strongly encouraged to create a VTAC account and pay their registration fee of $55 before September 15. The fee increases after this date.
Once students have created their accounts, they can apply for courses. It is only after they have applied for at least 1 course, that they can then apply for the Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS).
If students submit their SEAS applications before September 15, VTAC staff will review them and make sure all the required documentation is in place, and possibly make suggestions for how to strengthen their applications.
Students can also apply for scholarships via their VTAC accounts. These scholarships are generally for course-related studies. Accommodation scholarships need to be directed to individual providers.
