The documents you previously submitted do not contain all the information required to assess your Educational Access Scheme (EAS) category(ies). Please refer to the correspondence from QTAC and upload the additional documentation requested. Resubmitting the same documents may delay the assessment process.

Important: If you do not provide the requested documentation, your EAS category(ies) may not be assessed or finalised.

Regardless of your age, you are required to meet all entry requirements to be considered for a program. Generally, you’ll need an eligible qualification before an institution will make you an offer. For example, institutions may look at your Year 12 studies, your results in the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT), or your employment experience.

Meeting the entry requirements means you are eligible to be considered for a course, but it does not guarantee you will receive an offer.

If there are more eligible applicants than available places, institutions will rank applicants based on their selection rank. Your chances of receiving an offer will depend on how competitive your selection rank is compared with other applicants for the same course.

Yes, most institutions offer pathway courses for applicants who don’t meet the entry requirements for bachelor programs, or who need further support or preparation before studying at a bachelor degree level. Check out our enabling and bridging page for pathway assistance.

Yes, you can only receive one offer in each offer round based on your highest eligible preference. If you list mid-year intakes above semester one intakes, you will only be considered for these semester two courses. Visit the Preferences page for further information on ordering your preferences.

Make sure you order your preferences carefully, so you don’t miss out on what you want to study.

• Preferences 1 and 2 should be the most desired courses you want to study,
• Preferences 3 and 4 should be backup courses you want to study that are considered less competitive,
• Preferences 5 and 6 should be pathway courses that will help you upgrade into a preferred course

Visit the Preferences page for further information.

You can use employment experience as a way to obtain a QTAC selection rank to improve your chances of getting into a course. Your employment experience does not have to relate to the course you want to study, unless specified. If you do not wish to use employment as the basis of your application, you can simply leave this out. If you have already listed this, you can request that we disregard it from your application.

If you have forgotten to include some important information or if you have already used your maximum amount of file uploads, you can provide additional documents through our documentation upload page.

Your employment experience must be substantiated by copies of statements from your employers. Each employer’s statement must include all details listed below. Statements missing any details cannot be assessed:

To be considered, your statement of service must include all details below:

• Must be written on official company letterhead.
• Date the statement was written.
• Job title.
• Duties performed.
• Type of employment (full-time, part-time or casual) and hours per week or total hours for the period of work.
• Start date (mm/yyyy) and end date (mm/yyyy) of service if applicable.
• Position and signature of an authorised person (e.g. Manager, Human Resources Officer).
• Download our sample Statement of Service or read more about required documentation here.

*Note: A personal resume, curriculum vitae, group certificates, pay slips, tax returns, separation certificates, employment contracts or documents similar to these, are not sufficient. Duties statements or job descriptions are not sufficient; this information must be stated in the letters.
If you have been self-employed, your self-employment must be substantiated by copies of statements from your accountant, solicitor or tax agent.

Yes. However, your course preferences are considered in the order you list them.

If you receive an offer for your highest preference, you will not be considered for your lower preferences in future offer rounds unless you change the order of your preferences.

If you want to be considered for other courses, you must move those course preferences above the offer you have already accepted before the closing date for the next offer round.

If you receive an offer for a lower preference, you will continue to be considered for any higher preferences in future offer rounds, provided you have conditionally responded to your offer.
