Young Achievers Early Offer Program

You can submit your Early Offer program application via our online application portal. The University of Notre Dame Australia also participates in the Early Offer Schemes through UAC and TISC. You are also encouraged to apply for Notre Dame degrees via these pathways.

For more information on applying, including Special Considerations and Adjustment Factors, please see How to apply.

We want to know more about you, not just your academic achievements! In the application, you will be asked to provide details about your academic and non-academic achievements and commitments.

Academic information

• Students from Western Australia
  Ensure you have your SCSA ID ready to provide and prepare digital files of your Year 11 and Year 12 mid-year reports to upload.
• Students from New South Wales
  Make sure you have your 8-digit NESA number and NESA Student eRecord for Year 11 results ready to provide. Prepare digital files of your Year 11 and Year 12 mid-year reports for upload.
• Students from Interstate or International Baccalaureate applicants
  Prepare digital files of your school reports and other progress reports available.

If you haven’t received your Year 12 report yet, you can apply and provide the report once available. All reports will only be considered where marks and/or grades for academic achievements are listed.

Non-academic information

At Notre Dame, we consider the whole person, so get ready to tell us about yourself by answering the following questions in your application form

• Tell us how you contribute, and how frequently, to community life.
• Why are you applying to study at Notre Dame?
• Why have you chosen to study this degree?

You may also wish to include supporting documentation for work, caring responsibilities at home, volunteering, sports, and school leadership, among other things.

• a recommendation from your school or community group. Submitting a reference from your school or community group is optional, but it can help your application as we also consider your non-academic achievements. Recommendations must be provided as a PDF on school (or organisation) letterhead and be signed by the appropriate authority.
• documents such as awards, certificates, articles and your curriculum vitae.

Program specific information

Some programs require specific information for accrediting bodies. Notre Dame complies with accreditation requests to ensure our graduates meet the requirements of their chosen industry. Visit How to apply to find out more.

Please provide a written statement and supporting documentation in the Special Consideration Application Form. If you have applied for special consideration through UAC or TISC, you may provide a copy of this Educational Access Scheme (EAS) documentation instead of completing the Notre Dame form.

Yes, you should. At Notre Dame, we consider the whole person, including non-academic achievements, which can contribute to your overall selection rank. If you do not secure an Early Offer, your application will automatically be in later rounds (so send us through your end of year reports for consideration), all the way through to main round. You won’t have to apply again. You will also be considered for pathway programs that, upon successful completion, can get you into the degree you want to study.

Notre Dame also offers its Tertiary Pathway Program (TPP) in an intensive mode in early January for applicants who miss out on their program of choice. Students who successfully complete this can then commence their undergraduate degree in Semester 1. (Note: TPP is not a pathway to all undergraduate degrees).

Offers for students applying to our Fremantle and Sydney campuses will be made in multiple rounds from September until early December.

Please ensure that you have provided accurate information in your application, including your SCSA or NESA ID, along with your most recent reports or NESA eRecord. But just remember, every person is different and therefore every application is different! This means that you may find out about your application at a different time from other people. Offers for high-demand programs including the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Fremantle Campus only) will be limited to Round 1 and Round 3 offer rounds.

If you don’t receive an Early Offer in a specific round, your application will automatically be considered in later Early Offer rounds or at main round once final Year 12 results are released. So you don’t have to apply again.
