Let us know where you're at with your QTAC Application
Getting started on your application
2025 QTAC Admissions are now open! You can create an account or submit your application through the QTAC Application Portal.
When you’re ready to apply, start creating a QTAC application account here. If you don’t know how to create an account, you can find a video here, detailing what you need to do to. You can use the portal to track your application, change your details, change preferences, respond to offers, and mo
Preferencing
Your preferences are your wish list that we use in the context of your QTAC application. Our system lines up your preferences in light of your ATAR and selection rank to ensure your best chance for applying to your ideal tertiary education course.
With QTAC, more preferences mean more opportunities to choose your future. Using all 6 preferences maximises your chances of getting an offer.
Strategic Preference Ordering
We recommend the following instructions for your preferences. This helps to ensure you get the best chance for the pathways to your chosen career. Read more here.
Preferences 1 & 2
Your first two preferences are the dream courses aligning with your passions and aspirations. These are the ultimate in getting you the education to achieve your career goals.
Preferences 3 & 4
The next two preferences are your backup options. Use these preferences to include the less competitive courses within the same field or a different field that interests you.
Preferences 5 & 6
Your last two preferences are best if they are strategic pathways leading to your academic goal. You can get more of an idea of these pathways here.
Important Note: Only save your preferences when you are certain they’re final.
The first three times you click the ‘save’ button are free; subsequent changes will incur a fee.
Submitting your documentation
Make sure to provide the right documents as early as possible to keep your application process running smoothly. Our assessment team reviews and verifies your documents for each course you’ve listed in your preferences that may need them. This involves careful cross-checking and can be quite time-intensive. Remember, to be considered for an offer, you must not have any Outstanding Documents for the course(s) you wish to obtain an offer for.
We reserve the right to request original documents and/or certified copies if needed. If your documentation contains false, incorrect, or misleading information, your application may be cancelled, fees may not be refunded, and you could be excluded from applying to QTAC for up to two years.
We’ve collected some QTAC FAQs to help you!
What is an admissions cycle?
On August 1, 2024, the next admissions cycle commences, which is known as the “Opening of Admissions.” Throughout this admissions cycle, QTAC (Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre) operates a calendar of multiple Offer Rounds. The admissions process typically opens in August and concludes in July of the following year.
What is an offer round?
When you prepare a QTAC Application, you also need to be ready for an institution to see it at the right time, when the institution is offering places into the course of your choosing. These Offer Rounds encompass a variety of Institutions and courses
How do I know which offer rounds to part take in?
Prospective students should pay close attention to Key Dates published on our site, and always check this page for updates to ensure you don’t miss any opportunities. You can check out the next offer rounds by reading more below.
What is a selection rank?
A selection rank is the rank required for eligibility for entry into a particular course of study. The selection rank is determined by using an applicant’s ATAR, qualifications and other adjustment factors. You can read more here.
There is often myths surrounding selection ranks. To clear this up, we’ve gone ahead and busted the myths about selections ranks here.
What is the minimum selection thresholds?
The minimum selection threshold required for admission is based on the previous year’s Semester 1 intake period. It varies from year to year.
The minimum selection threshold is the minimum adjusted score (rank) that was required for an offer of a place. The minimum selection threshold was previously referred to as a ‘cut-off’. Minimum selection thresholds vary from year to year, and from offer round to offer round, depending on the number and quality of applicants a course receives.
Learn more about minimum selection thresholds here.
Where can I find out what selection rank is needed for a course?
Use QTAC’s Course Search to find a course. Each Course Search entry shows a selection rank profile reflecting the selection rank required in the previous year’s January offer round. Information is published for every domestic entry undergraduate course that uses the selection rank wholly or partly, in the tertiary admission process.
