ENROLLED AT ANOTHER
UNIVERSITY
If you have completed part of an
undergraduate course at another
university, your entire academic
record will be used as the basis of
selection, including your Grade Point
Average (GPA).
You are still required to meet the
prerequisite subjects for the course.
If you didn’t complete these subjects
in Year 12 (within the past 10 years)
it may be possible to meet them with
university subjects you have studied.

COMMUNITY ACCESS
PROGRAM (CAP)
Single-subject study via our Community
Access Program (CAP) is a rewarding
way to contribute to your career
development, strengthen your
academic record and pursue personal
and professional interests.
CAP can help you gain entry to

or simply learn something new at an
internationally renowned university.

pathway
“The non-school leaver
entry pathway has been
instrumental in helping
me gain admission to the

without having to return to
school to complete the VCE.”
