Open Days
Our recent lockdown has also seen a few last minute adjustments, so students are encouraged to check institution websites to confirm details.
It’s crucial you participate in open days if you would like to study at TAFE or university in the future. Please start your planning now as you will need to register for the event and there will be limited places for on campus events (if available) due to COVID restrictions.

Deakin Regional Access Scheme, a pathway to undergraduate study. It allows students to secure a spot at university long before ATARs are released by looking at their skills, experience and achievements. The scheme is open to current and recent Year 12 students (2021, 2020 and 2019 cohorts) looking to study at our Waterfront, Waurn Ponds or Warrnambool campuses – but students don’t have to live in a regional area to be eligible.
Federation's new Early Offer Program
We’re excited to announce our new Early Offer Program, where Year 12 students can secure their place at Federation University in 2022 sooner! Students will have peace of mind knowing they have already secured a place as they head into Year 12 exams. Students can apply from August 2. For full application details, terms and conditions please visit http://federation.edu.au/earlyoffer
