The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) can help you if you have experienced circumstances that negatively affected your ability to perform in your most recent studies. If you are assessed as eligible, you could receive adjustments to your ATAR or QTAC selection rank under the Educational Access Scheme (EAS).

Please check with the institution you are applying to for the maximum adjustments that may be applied.

You can apply for the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) when you lodge your QTAC application. Applying for the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) in your QTAC application is optional. To apply for Educational Access Scheme (EAS) after lodging your QTAC application, download the cover sheet and submit it to QTAC with the required supporting documentation.

If you are not sure if the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) could help you, call us on 1300 467 822 so we can assist.

You can apply for the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) if you are applying for tertiary study through QTAC. You don’t have to be in Year 12 or currently studying to apply for the Educational Access Scheme (EAS), but most of the Educational Access Scheme (EAS) categories relate to circumstances that affect your most recent studies.

To download the relevant cover sheet, please visit QTAC’s Educational Access Scheme (EAS).

Most institutions offer scholarships, including equity scholarships that assist regional students, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students, and students from low-income backgrounds to access study. You must apply to the institution directly for most scholarships, except: QUT’s Q-Step Scheme and UQ’s Queensland Commitment Scholarship. For these two, apply for the Financial Hardship category of our Educational Access Scheme in your QTAC application.

Adjustments may be applied for factors such as performance in certain Year 12 and university subjects, living or attending school in a certain location, sporting achievement and consideration through QTAC’s Educational Access Scheme (EAS).

To apply for the Rural Access Scheme, complete the cover sheet and submit it to QTAC with your supporting documentation as soon as possible.

Location adjustments are made based on your proximity to the institution offering the course or courses you’re applying for. For example, some institutions give you additional points for being a local resident, or for living in a regional or remote area. Location adjustments are made to your QTAC application automatically, after you apply.

You may get a rank/ATAR adjustment for successfully completing specific Year 12 subjects. The adjustments are automatically added to your ATAR or selection rank on your QTAC Application and can make you more competitive. For detailed subjects and adjustments information, please contact an institution directly.

No, senior subject adjustments are considered for current Year 12 students only.
