Guaranteed ATARs for 2026 Entry

The Deakin Guaranteed ATAR provides access for more students, so you can secure a place in the course you want.

Deakin is providing lower upfront guaranteed ATARs for eligible students from under-represented cohorts at Deakin. So, this may mean students who:

attend an under-represented school – see list here OR
live or study in a regional or remote home or school location OR
are of Indigenous Australian descent

This provides students with more certainty, reduces stress and gives them the best chance to get into the course they really want. Applications will be made through VTAC later in the year.
