Who can apply?

If you are an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, and are 17 years of age, you can apply to enter Yapug. You don't have to meet the requirements for entry to university or have any prior experience. You only need to establish your status within the university as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, and you're on your way to uni.

To do this you will need to complete the Establishing Aboriginality and/or Torres Strait Islander Status Form and provide supporting document as outlined with the Policy and Procedure.

The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
