Special Admissions Schemes

The following special admissions schemes can assist some applicants to gain entry to certain tertiary courses.

Educational Access Scheme (EAS)

QTAC's Educational Access Scheme is for current and former students who have experienced difficult circumstances that have adversely impacted on their studies.

These circumstances may relate to:

• financial hardship;
• home environment and responsibilities;
• English language difficulties;
• personal illness and disability;
• educational disruption

Depending on your situation, institutions may add bonuses to your rank/OP to increase the competitiveness of your tertiary study application.

You can apply for EAS as part of your QTAC application. For more information, please click here.

Access and Equity Schemes

In addition to EAS some institutions offer other access and equity schemes. Institutions may offer assistance not detailed online and applicants should contact the institution directly to determine whether additional assistance is available. Click here for more information.

Year 12 Bonus Rank Schemes
