Non-school leavers, Mature-age

You are a non-school leaver if you are not currently studying any Year 12 subjects. If you are in this category it means simply that your application is considered along with other applicants in this category and that you are not competing with current Year 12 applicants. 

Application processes, fees, etc. are the same for all applicants.

How to apply

The course application process can be very confusing. Just remember, there are only 2 ways to apply for a course at VU, either through VTAC - www.vtac.edu.au - or by direct application to us. You must apply through VTAC for all degree courses, and for full time places in certificate 1V, diploma and advanced diploma courses. You can apply by direct application for certificates I, II and III, and use a direct application for part time places in certificates IV, diplomas and advanced diplomas.
