What are the minimum subject requirements for tertiary entrance in South Australia?
To satisfy the minimum requirements for entry to a university course in South Australia, a student must:
-
qualify for the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) with at least five Stage 2 subjects;
-
obtain a university aggregate and a tertiary entrance rank (TER);
-
fulfil the Higher Education Selection Subject (HESS) requirements for the course;
-
fulfil any prerequisite subject requirements for the course.
Tertiary entrance points are calculated for all Stage 2 subjects. The tertiary entrance points for a student’s best five full-year Stage 2 subjects are used in the calculation of the university aggregate, which is converted into the tertiary entrance rank (TER).
The minimum entry requirements for TAFE courses are varied. For some courses, the TAFE selection score is used as one of the selection criteria. To get a TAFE selection score, a student must qualify for the SACE. The tertiary entrance points for a student’s best three full-year Stage 2 subjects are used in the calculation of the TAFE selection score.
