Current year 12 applicants

You are considered a year 12 applicant if:

• you are currently a year 12 student at an Australian secondary school (Victoria or interstate)
• you are currently studying VCE, Adult VCE, or Senior Level VCAL
• you are enrolled in at least one Unit 1 and 2 VCE study sequence
• you are an International Baccalaureate (IB) in Australian or New Zealand
• you were enrolled in at least one unit 3 and 4 sequence and did not officially withdraw by the deadline set by the VCAA within that year
• your highest qualification is a completed Year 12.

To apply for a course through VTAC, you’ll need to first create a VTAC account.

It's best to use your personal email when creating your VTAC account. By the time VTAC makes offers you may no longer have access to your secondary school email address.

­­You can then log into your VTAC account and add courses to your preference list. Choose the courses you are most interested in studying, rather than preferencing courses based on what you think you may be offered.

Carefully check all selection criteria for courses you preference, as some may have additional entry requirements.

You may also wish to consider selecting courses that may provide you with a pathway to your preferred course. Find out more about pathways into our courses.

Check the VTAC important dates and fees page for the most up to date information about application costs and closing dates.

Detailed information about applying through VTAC is available on the VTAC website.

Changing your course preferences

During certain periods you will be able to add, remove or re-order your course preferences. Read more about changing your course preferences.

Receiving an offer

VTAC will notify you if you receive an offer to study at ­ VU.

VU will also send you ­ an email to your VTAC nominated email confirming the offer and provide­ you with information about how to accept your offer and enrol.

Find out more about VTAC offers.

To be considered for a course at VU, you must meet the minimum entry requirements. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee you entry to a course, as there may be more applicants than places available. You can check these requirements on the online VTAC guide or VU's course finder.

If you are impacted by special circumstances, we encourage you to lodge a VTAC SEAS application (when applying through VTAC), or a VU Special Consideration application (when applying direct to VU). Your special circumstances will be taken into consideration when assessing your application.­
