There’s always another way. If you need more options for entering the undergraduate course of your dreams, you should consider one of our pathways or entry programs.
Get started by choosing the pathway or entry program category below that’s most relevant to your recent schooling or qualifications.
If you want to study at university and want to either increase your chances of getting in or accelerate your studies, pathways and entry programs may help.
Pathways are extra qualifications or tests that will help you meet the entry requirements of your chosen course if your rank isn’t high enough and can’t be adjusted further.
Examples include partial or full completion of a pathway certificate or diploma, or an entry test.
ACU admission pathways are designed to help you meet the entry requirements of your chosen course. Use our Pathway Finder to discover which courses have relevant pathways in your study areas of interest.
Using the Pathway Finder is simple. You can narrow down your admission pathways by study area and course, or you can explore your options based on your personal situation¬ – all it takes is a few clicks.
An entry program is a way of boosting your chance of success with your first application.
Entry programs can be based on your personal background, such as if you went to school in a regional area, experienced financial hardship, or identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
When an entry program applies bonus points to your rank score, these are known as adjustment factors.
