YEAR 9 - 11 STUDENTS

University - early admission programs

Did you know that at some universities, you can apply for programs that enable you to receive an offer before your final Year 12 results are released? These are called ‘early admission’ programs and they provide a way for universities to take into consideration factors other than just your ATAR for admission into courses. Some universities take into consideration your Year 11 results for university entry. This is very important to know for students starting Year 11, finishing Year 11, or advancing into Year 11 subjects. Students with a successful early entry application may receive a ‘conditional’ or ‘unconditional offer’.

Conditional offer

Means that you will need to meet additional criteria to receive an offer such as a minimum ATAR and/or achieve subject and study score prerequisites

Unconditional offer

Means as long as you complete Year 12 and achieve the course prerequisites, you will receive an offer (the ATAR will not be taken into consideration).

Year 11 results - examples

The following are examples of universities that take into consideration Year 11 results:

Australian Catholic University
