An entry cut-off is not applicable because:

  • It is not the sole criterion for offer of a CSP or;
  • Course is not offered to a CSP or;
  • It is never used as an entrance criterion or part of the selection criteria or;
  • The course is a new course and an entry cut-off has not yet been determined.
0001 to 9995 Entry cut-off (reported as a common index - see coding notes) to a CSP in this award course
CODING NOTES:

The entry cut-off to be reported is the published lowest entry cut-off for the previous years' Year 12 students who received an offer of a CSP in this course, through standard admission, in the main round of admission for the current academic year, where academic qualifications were the sole criterion for offer of a CSP (except for school subject prerequisites).

The entry cut-off to be reported is the value for the common index that has been agreed by MCEETYA. The values for the common index will range from 0001 to 9995. The common index is given different names in different states as listed below:

SA/NT - Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER);
VIC - Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank (ENTER);
WA - Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER);
TAS - Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER);
ACT - Universities Admissions Index (UAI);
NSW - Universities Admissions Index (UAI); and
QLD- Interstate Transfer Index (ITI)

HEPs must provide entry cut-off information according to the postcode location of the campus.

Queensland HEPs may provide an entry cut-off value for this field.

In cases where there is direct entry or no TAC is involved in the admission process, HEPs are to provide the equivalent main round entry cut-off for the course.
