UniSA Achievement bonus points
UniSA will reward achievement in selected Year 12 subjects through the introduction of Achievement bonus points, available to all Year 12 students. The University will be combining your overall performance - the ATAR - with achievement in particular subjects. This both rewards your achievement and at the same time gives you flexibility in the career you choose to pursue. We believe it also better prepares you for university.
Two points are automatically awarded (up to a maximum of 5 points) if you have a subject achievement score of a C minus or higher in a Stage 2 SACE Tertiary Admission subject (or interstate/IB equivalent) relevant to the UniSA program in which you have applied. You must have completed 20 credits of any Stage 2 subject to be eligible to receive UniSA bonus points.
It is important to note that Achievement bonus points are awarded by program. For example, the bonus points applicable to the Bachelor of Pharmacy will be different to those awarded to the Bachelor of Commerce. Bonus points will be automatically added to your university aggregate when you apply to SATAC for UniSA programs only. You do not need to submit an application.
Year 12 students (entry from 2012): Find out here if your Year 12 subjects give you points into UniSA programs.
UniSA Aspire bonus points
Aspire bonus points increase access to school leavers who have been under-represented at university.
If you are unsure whether your school is recognised, or if you need to submit an application form, check with your Year 12 Coordinator, Career Counsellor or Principal. Alternatively, you can contact UniSA Future Student Enquiries on 1300 UNINOW or email study@unisa.edu.au.
