The Special Consideration for Admission Scheme
Overview
The Special Consideration for Admission Scheme is for applicants with a record of tertiary study who have experienced some form of disadvantage during their secondary and/or tertiary studies.
An applicant who is approved under this scheme may be admitted into their course of choice with results below, but close to, the normal entry standard for that course. This scheme will not allow applicants to gain admission with results that are well below the course entry standard.
This scheme is available for domestic applicants seeking admission into undergraduate courses which are offered through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
Application process
In addition to applying through UAC, you must complete an application form and submit supporting documentation which proves your claims. You should return your completed application, including supporting documentation, to the Admissions Office before the end of November.

You are welcome to contact the Admissions Office for further information.
