What about my ATAR?

Sometimes, your ATAR does not reflect your academic potential. If you're eligible for Study Score Consideration, you may gain entry into your preferred course even if your ATAR is below our published Guaranteed ATARs.

How do I apply?

Once you have chosen one or more of the Access Melbourne categories that suit your circumstances, you’ll need to submit a SEAS application through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). We’ve prepared a checklist to help you with this process.
