Young Achievers Early Offer Program

Academic information

Students from Western Australia
Make sure 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.

If you haven’t received your Year 12 report yet, you can submit an application and provide the report once available.

Students from Interstate or International Baccalaureate applicants
Prepare digital files of your school reports and other progress reports available.

Important: All reports will only be considered where marks and/or grades for academic achievements are listed.

Non-academic information

We want to know more about you, not just your academic achievements! In the application you will be asked to provide details about your non-academic achievements and commitments, which may include work, caring responsibilities at home, volunteering, sports and school leadership, among others.

You may also wish to upload supporting documentation, which could include:

• a recommendation from your school or community group. It’s optional to submit a reference from your school or community group, 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.

Other 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.

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?

Once ready, submit your application online.

Please provide a written statement and provide 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.

Special Consideration 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).

If you have not yet submitted your application, you should upload them to your online application. Please submit files in the following formats: pdf, jpeg, png, doc or docx, with each file size not exceeding 2MB.

If you have already submitted your application and wish to, or have been asked to, supply additional documentation, you should email this to the Admissions team via admissions@nd.edu.au.

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.

All offers are conditional on applicants completing WACE/HSC and receiving an ATAR. At Notre Dame, we are committed to ensuring the integrity of the completion of your Year 12 studies.

Some conditional offers may also require applicants to meet certain elements of the entry criteria that you have not yet met. There are two types of conditions: academic and non-academic (or both).

• If you have not met the non-academic criteria, such as the statement of purpose for initial teacher education programs (e.g. Bachelor of Primary Education), once you have provided the requested information and it has been deemed sufficient, your offer will automatically become a firm offer.
• If you are just short of meeting the academic criteria, you will be made a conditional academic offer. You are eligible for reassessment once additional Year 12 results become available. This may be before your examinations (e.g. Semester 2 report) or at main round once final Year 12 results are available.

Yes, you can. Get in touch with the Admissions team via admissions@nd.edu.au if you are interested in changing degrees. Please be aware that some degrees have higher entry requirements and your application may have to be reassessed. If changing your preference to a high-demand program, you may not be eligible for consideration until main round, depending on the timing of the request.

Applicants are advised to accept their offer as soon as they receive it. If your offer letter has a deadline to accept, you must accept by this date or you may lose your place in the program. Please note that accepting your offer will hold your place until enrolments open. The only way to truly secure your place is to enrol.

Please note that applicants cannot have multiple active early offers.
