TAFE applicationsTo apply for an RMIT TAFE program, you must follow one of four methods: To confirm the correct application method, you should read individual RMIT program web pages or brochures. To find a program, use the search function on the Future Students home page. If you are seeking 'higher year entry', that is, entry into the second or later year of a TAFE program (full-time or part-time), you should apply direct to RMIT using the direct method of application. Extra requirements Some programs may require the completion of extra requirements as part of the application process. The extra requirements may include interviews, submission of a folio or preselection kit, or completion of a supplementary information form. For more information about the extra requirements for your program of interest please check the individual RMIT program web pages and/or the 2009 VTAC Guide. Supplementary Information forms are available for download from this site. Gaining credit for previous study and experience All TAFE applicants may apply to have previous education, work or life experiences credited to form a recognised part of their study. VTAC applicationFull-time TAFE programs generally require an application through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). The VTAC web site allows applications online from 4 August 2008. VTAC administers the application process for all participating education institutions, but does not select students for individual programs, determine selection criteria or selection requirements. You will be advised by VTAC in writing regarding the outcome of your application for a place in an RMIT program. All letters of offer include the program name or specialisation/discipline, where appropriate, attendance mode (e.g. face-to-face classes, online, off-campus), load (full-time or part-time) and campus for which the offer is made. Offer letters also include information about how and when to accept offers, defer or enrol. Offers are conditional on your completion of prerequisite qualifications or upon other factors detailed in the letter of offer. Failure to meet the conditions of offer will result in the withdrawal of the offer and cancellation of the enrolment (if enrolment was completed). Future students should refer to the VTAC Guide to confirm the method of application, extra requirements, availability of programs and application costs. The VTAC Guide can be purchased at newsagents from late July, or viewed on VTAC's web site. Applicants who are eligible for an equity admission should complete the SEAS form including supporting statements and evidence. This is an extra application form that allows for consideration of disadvantage in the selection process. It is submitted along with a VTAC application. Current Year 12 applicants who have been disadvantaged in their final year of schooling only, and who applied for entry to tertiary study through VTAC, may be eligible for SEAS Special Year 12 Consideration. Closing dates for VTAC applications are:
Please see the VTAC web site for further information. Direct applicationPart-time TAFE programs generally require applicants to apply directly to RMIT University's RMIT’s Info Corner, using a direct application form. Details of how and where to lodge the form are included on the form. Info Corner administers applications for programs not listed in the VTAC Guide, but does not select students for individual programs, determine selection criteria or selection requirements. Direct application forms are available online, or from the RMIT’s Info Corner from Open Day, second Sunday in August. Applicants will be advised by RMIT in writing of the outcome of any applications. Notification of an offer will include instructions on how and when to accept offers, enrol, arrange to enrol by proxy (PDF 38KB), or defer a place. Verbal offers of admission will not be made by RMIT University. Applicants who are eligible for an equity admission should complete the ACESS form (available from the equity admission schemes page), including supporting statements and evidence. This is an extra application form that allows for consideration of disadvantage in the selection process. It is submitted along with a direct application. ACESS applications usually close in October. Closing dates for TAFE direct applications are: Please see the 2009 Direct Applications form for details of closing dates. School applicationA limited number of TAFE programs require applicants to directly contact the school that offers that program to make an application. The method of application and school details are available on individual program pages, and in individual program brochures. To find a program, use the search function on the Future students home page. Please note: Closing dates for school applications vary – please contact the RMIT school that offers the program. Applicants who are eligible for an equity admission should complete the ACESS form, including supporting statements and evidence. This form allows for consideration of disadvantage in the selection process. It is submitted in addition to a school application. ACESS applications usually close in October. Disclaimer for offers of admissionRMIT reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission and cancel the enrolment of any person where such an offer was made, on the basis of incomplete or inaccurate information supplied by the applicant or a certifying authority. General entrance requirementsCertificate I - III Certificate I, II and III and preparatory programs usually have no minimum entrance requirements. Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma For current Year 12 students, the minimum tertiary entrance requirement for certificate IV, diploma and advanced diploma programs is the successful completion of Year 12, e.g. Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or a comparable qualification. A small number of TAFE programs require a specific ENTER. Check individual program pages for specific entrance requirements. To find a program, use the program search function on the Future Students home page. Please note: Some TAFE programs may require completion of a pre-selection kit, forms, test or folio as part of the application process. Specific information is available in the current VTAC Guide. Additional application forms are available for download from this site. Non-Year 12 applicants for TAFE programs If you are 18 years or over at 1 February 2009 (or the year you will start studying at RMIT), and/or have been out of full-time secondary study for at least 12 months, you do not need to meet minimum tertiary entrance requirements. If you are a Non-Year 12 applicant who does not meet the minimum entry requirements, you are generally required to be employed in work that is related to the program for which you are applying. Alternatively, you may be given the opportunity to show evidence of your ability to meet the demands of the program. A wide variety of TAFE programs are open to international applicants. For a database of specific international qualification requirements, visit the International Current Entry Requirements web page.
