Information on admissions programs

Information on alternative entry programs

The Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) looks at criteria other than (or in addition to) the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) to offer Year 12 students an early admission into a UC undergraduate course.

The UC Early Offer Scheme allows current Year 12 students to apply for Undergraduate study and could receive an early admission offer using criteria other than their ATAR.

Adjustment factors are additional points added to a student’s ATAR or entry rank to give an adjusted entry score. UC can increase a student’s selection rank by a maximum of 20 points across the three categories of:

  • subject adjustments
  • Educational Access Scheme (EAS) adjustments
  • University Priority Groups.

The Accelerated Pathways Program (H Courses) allows ACT Year 11 students to study on-campus and earn credit towards a UC degree. This unique opportunity provides the chance to experience what university is really like and get a step ahead of the pack! Student that completes one of our programs will also be considered for a special early offer round to a UC Degree.

Portfolio entry is offered by UC’s Faculty of Arts and Design (FAD) for all applicants seeking entry to an undergraduate FAD course. Students can submit their creative portfolio when they apply online. Special consideration may be given to applicants who don’t meet other alternative entry criteria but have experienced circumstances that have impacted or disadvantaged their studies.

UC Connect is developed by UC College in conjunction with UC to provide a pathway for school leavers and recent school leavers who wish to study an undergraduate degree, but whose current academic qualifications don’t give them direct admission.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Foundation Program helps First Nation Australian applicants who don’t meet current UC admission requirements to build the skills they need to succeed in higher education. Successful graduates of the program will be provided with entry into their desired UC course.
