*** MUST READ BEFORE APPLYING ***

If you’re an elite athlete applying for entry into a La Trobe undergraduate course via VTAC, you could be eligible for the Elite Athlete Adjustment Factor. This means you may have a five aggregate point adjustment factor applied to your admission to La Trobe.

If you are not studying year 12 in Victoria, you will have to apply for a VTAC number prior to applying for an ATAR adjustment. You are only eligible for an ATAR adjustment if you are a current year 12 student (2024) at Australian schools.

Your application must include a reference and written statement from your current state or national sporting organisation in conjunction with support from your school.

Applications for the Elite Athlete ATAR Adjustment Scheme will open on Wednesday 31st July and will close on Sunday 24th November.
