Your guide to the VTAC application process

Whether you’re a current Year 12 student planning your next steps after high school or a non-Year 12 applicant returning to study, we're here to help you navigate the application process with the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC), the central hub for tertiary course applications in Victoria. 

Explore courses to prepare your VTAC preferences

Your VTAC application allows you to apply for up to eight courses, in order of your preference, but you'll only receive one offer in each 'offer round'. Before you begin your VTAC application, you'll need to start researching your courses based on your interests. 

VTAC course preference tip

Make sure that you familiarise yourself with course prerequisites and any selection task requirements. VTAC course codes are 10-digit codes that can be found using the VTAC CourseSearch and under the 'VTAC code' section of our course pages. Some courses have more than one course code, so make sure to include the correct code when listing your preferences.

How to apply for courses through VTAC

Create your VTAC account

Before you can apply, you'll need to create a VTAC account which will allow you to manage your applications for courses, SEAS and scholarships.

Choose up to eight courses

Select 'Course application' in your VTAC account to enter your background information and list up to eight courses in order of your preference.

Submit your application

Avoid late fees by submitting your timely applications before the deadline.

Important dates for VTAC applications

From Monday 29 July 2024, you can submit your VTAC application for courses starting in 2025. If you aren't ready to submit your preferences and miss the timely application period, you can still submit a late application. 

Application Submission deadline
VTAC Timely applications 5pm (AEST), 30 September 2024
Special consideration (SEAS) and scholarships 5pm (AEST), 11 October 2024
VTAC Late applications 1 November 2024

If you have submitted your VTAC course application and have second thoughts, you can reorder or change your preferences up until before each offer round. Change of preference is closed during selection periods (just before offer rounds) but is open at all other times.
