COVID-19 academic entry requirements

• We are doing everything we can to make sure that your education isn’t impacted due to COVID-19. That’s why we will allow you to submit predicted or interim final year high school (or equivalent) results if your previous studies or academic qualifications have been impacted by COVID-19.

Examples of previous studies that we may take into consideration include:

• NSW Higher School Certificate, Victorian Certificate of Education or interstate equivalent
• International equivalents of Year 12
• International Baccalaureate Diploma
• Completed, or partially completed, course from a university or college
• Approved foundation studies program certificate.
• Because there is a chance your final official results won’t match the interim or predicted results when they become available, we have set slightly higher cut-offs for interim or predicted results should you wish to submit them to allow us to honour offers should your final official results not match the result submitted during COVID-19.

Please note: not all qualifications are affected by COVID-19, so only students who can demonstrate that their high school (or equivalent) qualification has been affected by COVID-19 can apply using predicted or interim results. For all other students, the normal entry requirements apply. 

Details of the known affected country-specific qualifications and the higher cut-offs are shown below:
