Offers to applicants who have an ATAR (or equivalent) below the published cut-off

The ATAR cut-off for a course indicates the minimum ATAR required for selection into the course for the majority of current Year 12 applicants. However, institutions have some other schemes that may allow some applicants to receive an offer to a course even though they have an ATAR below the ATAR published as the cut-off for the course.

The schemes offered by the institutions differ and include those listed. As well as using the links below, you can refer to each institution's entry for more information about the schemes offered.

Performance in relevant subjects

Some institutions apply bonus points to an admission rank based on an applicant's performance in Year 12 subjects relevant to their course of study. Refer to subject bonuses for more information.

Regional schemes

Some institutions apply bonus points to an admission rank if applicants live in or undertake their Year 12 schooling in a certain area. Refer to regional bonuses for more information.

Educational Access Schemes (EAS)

All institutions have an Educational Access Scheme (EAS) for applicants who have experienced long-term educational disadvantage.

School recommendation schemes

Several institutions administer school recommendation schemes through which applicants may be selected for courses independently of their final Year 12 results on the basis of a range of criteria, which may include academic recommendations provided by schools/colleges, portfolios or interviews.

Alternative entry schemes

Refer to the institution entries for information on alternative entry schemes offered by some institutions.
