Guarantee your place at ACU, even before your Year 12 exams. The ACU Guarantee program offers Year 12 students (Australian citizens or permanent residents) a place at ACU based on Year 11 results. It is specially designed to reflect achievements in your whole life, not only your academic results.
Offers may be made as early as September. Of course, you must still complete your Year 12 exams and meet any course pre-requisites, but you can do so secure in the knowledge that you have an offer to study at ACU. You may also enhance your application by including short personal statements that give ACU an insight into your personal circumstances and motivation for university study.
ACU Guarantee is only available to domestic students. ACU offers international students other pathways to study with us.
