If you're ready to apply for a course, follow these steps:

• If you're a current Year 12 student in Australia and want to apply for a bachelor degree or UniPrep course commencing in semester 1, 2025 you should submit your application through TISC unless you are applying the following courses:
  • Any of our WAAPA courses, or
  • Music Education major in the Y68 Bachelor of Education (Secondary) course, or
  • UniPrep Summer course.
• If you didn't apply through TISC and missed the TISC main offer round on December 21, you can apply direct to us.
• Consider having a back-up course in case you've applied for a popular course, and it's oversubscribed (you can apply for up to 3 courses).
• Check that you meet course entry requirements, including any special admission or 'inherent' requirements.
• Check the application dates for your chosen course.
• Apply for a scholarship (these are awarded to all kinds of people, not just high achievers)
• Have scanned copies of other qualifications, your resume or other required paperwork, ready to upload.

We'll send you an Offer via email for a place at ECU.

The letter contains your student number and details about your course, such as the course code, study mode and campus.

It also explains the steps for responding to your offer and what to do next. Don't lose it!

p.s. if your application is successful, check your eligibility for credit for prior learning. You could be awarded credits that shorten your course duration.

It varies, depending on the course and the type of application. Please read your offer letter and any correspondence carefully and act as soon as you can.

If you don't get into the course you applied for, you should consider alternative pathways.

Please contact our Future Students team for advice on this.

Alternatively, you can visit our pathways page to consider your options.

Pathways include UniPrep, the Experienced Based Entry Scheme and the Creative Humanities Portfolio Entry pathway.

Don't panic - it happens! Fortunately, ATAR is not the only pathway into university.

If you didn't satisfy ECU's minimum English competency requirements based on your Year 12 results (either school letter grade or scaled score), you may be eligible to sit STAT to meet this requirement.

STAT is administered by TISC. Year 12 students are only able to sit the Written English part of the test and must have received permission from ECU or be invited by TISC to do so. This is because your Year 12 English results are considered a near miss for entry into a bachelor's degree or for another exceptional circumstance.

Yes, please do. University preparation courses are a great foundation to further study, designed to give you the academic skills to succeed at university. If you successfully complete one of these courses, you'll be eligible for entry into many of our undergraduate degrees.
