Geographic Region Bonus
You will be awarded five bonus points if your home address has a postcode that is identified by the University as being:
- within the local government area of, or adjacent to, the campus that you are applying to attend, or;
- in an area geographically relevant to the campus, where there is a low participation rate in higher education
Find out if your postcode is listed as being eligible for the geographic region bonus.
How accessACU bonus points are applied
If you have listed an ACU course as one of your preferences on your QTAC, UAC or VTAC application and you are eligible to receive bonus points because of your results and/or geographic reason, the bonus points are automatically awarded. There are no additional forms or applications to apply for the scheme.
While you may meet the criteria for both categories, you can only receive a maximum of 10 bonus points under this scheme.
