Pathways
This year Tertiary Institutions have gone online and continue to run their virtual open days throughout August and September. Virtual tours are also available for most institutions and you can access them through the careers website under Post School Options / University. Most institutions also have produced an online course guide. These can also be accessed through the careers website under Post School Options / University or TAFE.
VTAC applications are now open for admission in 2021.
The Victorian Admissions Centre (VTAC) is the central office for applications to tertiary courses, scholarships and special consideration (SEAS) at Victorian universities, TAFEs and independent tertiary colleges. Students need a VTAC account to apply for courses and to access all VTAC services.
