Special Entry (STAT)
If you
are over 18 years of age and have not been enrolled in a program leading to
a higher education award within the last two years, you may be eligible to apply for
entry under the University's Special Entry Scheme for all programs.
TAFE/ RTO award applicants for the Bachelor of Laws (including the double degrees) must apply for Special Entry.
The STAT (Special Tertiary Admissions Test), a two-hour objective test with multiple choice answers conducted by SATAC. Some programs which accept STAT for entry also consider applicants on the basis of your employment experience or a personal competencies statement, check SATAC for details.
Prepare for STAT workshops
Increase your chances of getting into UniSA by attending one of our Prepare for STAT workshops. For more details or to attend contact Future Student enquiries.
STAT tests
Tests are held every year in Adelaide and regional centres in South Australia and the Northern Territory to coincide with midyear and end of year entry to university. Call SATAC on 8224 4000 for details or apply through SATAC UniWeb. The SATAC Uni Guide is available at newsagents from August onwards.
You must lodge your application by mid June (for midyear entry), or September (for the following year entry) to avoid late fees.
Personal competencies and employment experience
For many UniSA programs, a personal competencies statement and evidence of employment experience will be considered in the assessment process and can enhance your STAT rank, see the SATAC UniGuide for details.
