OPEN DAYS
What are they?
Each year, tertiary institutions (Universities & TAFEs) open their doors to the public to showcase the amazing and unique features they have to offer including courses, scholarships, student services, facilities, accommodation etc. As well as this, open days have lots of activities including live bands, BBQs, competitions, information sessions, art displays and drama performances.

VICTORIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION CENTRE [VTAC]
What is VTAC?
The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) is the central office that administers the application processes for places in tertiary courses, scholarships and the Special Entry Access Scheme at universities, TAFEs and independent tertiary colleges in Victoria (and a few outside Victoria). VTAC receives and forwards application information and supporting documentation to the relevant authorities at institutions. VTAC is not a selection authority, does not determine the selection criteria used by institutions and does not decide who will receive an offer. All decisions about which applicants are offered a place are made by the course selection authorities at institutions.
After selection decisions have been made by the course authorities at institutions, VTAC sends offer messages to successful applicants on the institutions’ behalf. Students are able to register on VTAC from Monday 5 August 2019.
NB: We will be holding information sessions for students at the College to assist them in their understanding of VTAC and using CourseSearch. Time and date to be confirmed.
CourseSearch
CourseSearch provides up-to-date detailed course information for all courses with applications through VTAC and some courses with applications direct to the institution.
Year 10 and 11 students. CourseSearch will help students to plan a future VCE program. It will also allow them to identify which VCE studies they will need to be eligible for any potential courses they have in mind.
Year 12 students can also use the prerequisite search to add their current VCE program and prospective ATAR range to view the range of courses available for including on their 2018 course application.
Information about other forms of selection criteria are outlined in course entries listed on CourseSearch. For an explanation, see Course selection criteria.
Students should now be researching and investigating options for 2020 and beyond. For more information go to their website at www.vtac.edu.au

This event will be of particular relevance to students in Year 12 who are considering their tertiary study options and their parents, as well as anyone in the community considering further study as a mature age applicant. Students in Years 9-11 and their parents may also find the session helpful when choosing subjects for VCE. Come along to find out everything you need to know about getting to university, TAFE, or tertiary college in 2020!
