School Leavers

Take advantage of our Early Achievers Program and you could enjoy your summer, without the worry of university placement hanging over your head. Early entry to Australian Catholic University (ACU National) gives you the reassurance of a place in a great university, while everyone else plays the waiting game.

You’re worth more than just your score!

We recognise that you have more to offer than just your Year 12 results and there is more to succeeding at university than just academic ability.

Our Early Achievers Program also considers your contribution to your community, through school, local community organisations, culture, sport or a religious group. If you have the enthusiasm to succeed then you are the type of student we are looking for.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for our Early Entry Program you must meet a few simple criteria:

Be currently enrolled in year 12 and continuing to complete your year 12 studies.
Have completed three semesters of study in years 11 and 12 with consistent and successful results.
Demonstrate involvement in your community, such as contributions to your school, church, local community, sporting, or cultural organisation.
Select an Australian Catholic University course as your highest eligible preference when applying for admission through your Tertiary Admissions Centre.
Have undertaken the relevant pre-requisite subjects for your chosen degree.
Ask your school Principal to complete the Principal’s Recommendation form.
