Getting In
Your guide to getting into Uni
I have previously completed year 12
You can use your ATAR or equivalent (UAI, TER etc) to apply irrespective of when you completed Year 12.
If you have completed any other study you might also be eligible for credit. You can apply for credit before you apply to see how much time might be taken from your degree.
If you don’t think you will meet the ATAR for admission there are other options to get in depending on your situation:
- Open Foundation
Complete this one year or six month program to get a new mark for entry. - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander entry
Get entry help by identifying you are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. - Educational Access Scheme
Get up to four points if you have experienced educational or other disadvantage. - Elite Athlete Program
Get an early offer by applying as an elite athlete. - Special Tertiary Admissions Test
Complete this test for a mark for entry into some of our degrees.
For advice on your options please contact us by call 1300 275 866 or visit AskUON.
