7.1 The University offers Entry Bonus Schemes¹, for applicants completing Year 12 or equivalent in the year of application for admission, as follows:

1. Subject Bonus: based on subject performance in Year 12 subjects approved by the Faculty for the specific course in the relevant state/territory;
2. Campus Bonus: based on demonstration that the applicant lives in one of the areas designated for the relevant campus;
3. Schools Relationship Bonus: based on demonstration that the applicant attended one of the high schools designated for the relevant campus.

7.2 Entry bonus points are also allocated to applicants under the University’s Equity and Access Schemes – see Appendix 2 for details.

7.3 The maximum number of bonus points that an applicant can gain under under the Campus Bonus, Schools relationship bonus and/or Regional bonus is a maximum of five bonus points.

7.4 Bonus points are added to the applicant’s raw ATAR, or equivalent, only for the purposes of determining eligibility for admission to courses offered by this University. The allocation of bonus points does not affect an applicant’s OP or ATAR but supplements the applicant’s rank for the purpose of assessing his/her eligibility for admission to the course.²

¹ These schemes are administered through the Tertiary Admissions Centres and direct application to ACU is neither required nor available.
²A rank is not the same as an OP or ATAR and one bonus point does not equate to one OP or ATAR point.
