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: disrupted schooling; financial hardship; home environment and responsibilities; English language difficulties; personal illness/disability; refugee status; school environment; and natural disasters.

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.

Year 12 Bonus Rank Schemes

Some institutions have schemes where Year 12 applicants receive bonus ranks if they have passed specific subjects at school (eg Maths C, a language other than English) or undertaken tertiary level subjects. Click here for more information.

Access and Equity schemes

As part of the 2011/2012 QTAC application, applicants will be asked if they wish to advise QTAC if they receive a Centrelink benefit. It is optional to answer this question. Based on the applicant’s response, institutions may contact them regarding special admissions schemes or scholarships/bursaries that may be applicable.
