VTAC applications
If you are applying for an undergraduate course commencing in Semester 1 you must complete a VTAC application and submit it electronically via the VTAC website.
The application period opens in July and closes during the last week of September. Although late applications will be accepted by VTAC until mid December some programs that have special requirements will not accept late applications.
You also have the opportunity to change your course preferences in December after receiving your Year 12 results.
VTAC stands for the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre. It acts as an application and administrative agency for all Victorian universities and TAFE institutes.
The VTAC Guide to University and TAFE courses that is produced annually is available from newsagents or alternatively may be viewed on the VTAC website.
The VTAC toll free number for general enquires is 1300 364 133.
