Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS)

If your study has been adversely affected by your circumstances, you might be able to apply for the Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS).

Undergraduate courses

We know that every student has a unique background – and different circumstances means different degrees of disadvantage.

Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS), also known as special consideration, is designed to level the playing field. If you’re eligible, SEAS might increase your selection rank for the courses you're applying for. (Although it won’t change your ATAR.)

Even if SEAS doesn’t end up boosting your rank, it’s still worth applying for. Your uni applications won’t be impacted.

Different universities handle SEAS in their own way. This is how we do it at Federation.

We recognise all four SEAS categories.

Maximum adjustment

Your selection rank could be boosted by up to 15 points. You can apply for every category that fits your situation.
