Access & equity through VTAC (SEAS)

VTAC's Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) allows applicants applying to FedUni programs through VTAC to apply for recognition that they may have experienced educational disadvantage. A number of issues might have impacted on a student during their previous study, affecting their ability to do well in assessment tasks. Our goal is to open the doors to study to those who have the ability to succeed. If you believe that your academic potential is not reflected by your achievements to date, and you are eligible to apply under one or more of the SEAS categories, we invite you to submit a SEAS application.

Access & equity outside of SEAS

FedUni's Access and Equity Scheme allows applicants to apply for recognition that they may have experienced educational disadvantage. A number of issues might have impacted on a student during their previous study, affecting their ability to do well in assessment tasks. Our goal is to open the doors to study to those who have the ability to succeed. If you believe that your academic potential is not reflected by your achievements to date, and you are eligible to apply under one or more of the Access and Equity categories, we invite you to include this information in your application.

Articulation

Articulation is a process that enables students to progress from one completed qualification to another with credit in a defined pathway.

For more information download the Learning Pathways Policy pdf.

Credit transfer

Credit transfer is a process that provides students with agreed and consistent credit outcomes based on identified equivalence in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications. This can reduce the number of subjects you have to do to gain your qualification. You will need statements of academic achievement to support your request for credit.

For more information, read the Higher Education Academic Credit Transfer Policy.

Learning pathways

Learning Pathways are formally approved links to enable students to enter and move between courses and programs in different sectors or within the same sector. Pathways may link courses and programs in the same or different areas of study. (Students may also develop their own informal learning pathways.)

For more information download the Learning Pathways Policy pdf.

Recognition of prior learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that assesses the individual's relevant prior learning to determine the credit outcomes of an individual application for credit.

For more information, read the VET Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer Assessment Policy.

VET pre-enrolment review

Students commencing study with us come with a vast range of skills, experiences, motivations and capacity to deal with the challenges required when commencing study. Literacy and numeracy testing allows us to assess each student's foundation skills that are necessary for the successful completion of their studies.

For more information, see the Pretraining review form.

Literacy and/or numeracy testing

Applicants who have not completed secondary education, or undertaken any TAFE or university studies may be required to complete a literacy and/or numeracy test to determine their eligibility for admission. Any applicants who are required to complete testing will be contacted during the selection period and provided with further details at that time.

Additional information

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Our Aboriginal Education Centre (AEC) is the central location for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander matters at FedUni. We assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and can also refer students to services and support at FedUni and other community organisations. We welcome all students, staff and community members to contact us and contribute to the life of the Centre.

Domestic applicants with overseas qualifications

We will assess your qualifications in line with the entry requirements of the program you are applying to study. We also offer additional support to our domestic students from CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) backgrounds.

English language proficiency

We offer a range of programs for those whose first language is not English.

For more information, read about English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).

Australian qualifications framework

The Australian Qualifications Framework is the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian education and training. It incorporates the qualifications from each education and training sector into a single comprehensive national qualifications framework. The AQF was first introduced in 1995 to underpin the national system of qualifications in Australia encompassing higher education, vocational education and training and schools.

Apprenticeships and traineeships

Australian apprenticeships are available to anyone of working age and do not require any entry qualifications. You can be a school-leaver, re-entering the workforce or simply wishing to change careers.
