Year 12 University Early Entry:
Year 12 have been learning about and investigating Early Entry options and how to apply. The first step for current Year 12 students is to narrow down and decide on the courses they wish to apply for and at which institutions.
What is early entry?
Some universities and Tertiary Admissions Centres (TACs) have programs in place that allow them to process applications for specific programs that allow offers to be issued before the main rounds begin after the academic year is over. By applying for one of these programs, students could receive an offer earlier than if they apply through the normal process.
It’s a way to give you some peace of mind knowing you have a place secured at university next year and one less thing to stress about during exam time.
Who is eligible to apply for early entry?
Each program has it’s own eligibility criteria, but here are some of the most common:
- Academic achievement
- Community involvement, e.g. volunteering
- Leadership roles, e.g. school leader, team captain
- Disadvantage – consideration of factors that may have cause challenges to your studies during your final years e.g. financial, social, or physical
