You can apply directly to UniSC for an undergraduate place * if you are:
- A current TPP student
- A former TPP student who has had an enrolment in TPP in the previous two years
If you studied TPP more than two years ago, you should apply through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).
*The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) is a high demand program, and therefore not available via direct application. Applications for this program must be submitted via the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).
Completing your application
You can apply online. Start your application by clicking the green button at the top of this page.
Refer to the Online Applications Guide for help completing your application.
Check application dates for the due date. Late applications may be accepted only for programs that remain open.
The online application form allows for three program preferences. Put your most preferred program in the first position. It is recommended that you then list programs in the second and third place that will be a pathway to your preferred program.
For preference advice, contact Student Central.
Your final grades for TPP are used to determine a Selection Rank. This is done by using your course grades to calculate your Grade Point Average and converting this to a Selection Rank. You must have completed at least two TPP courses to receive a Selection Rank for that study.
For details on how your selection rank will be calculated, visit TPP and selection ranks.
Please note: You may qualify for bonus adjustments to your selection rank based on 'regional preference adjustment' under the Access UniSC scheme.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average of all final grades obtained by a student for courses completed within a program. At USC, GPAs are worked out on a 7 point scale, the best possible GPA is a 7. TPP students would need to earn High Distinctions (HD) for all courses to have a GPA of 7.
To find out more about Grade Point Averages refer to the Grades and Grade Point Average (GPA)- Academic Policy.
TPP may be used as a pathway to most undergraduate programs, but not all. The selection rank derived from TPP must be high enough to meet the minimum selection threshold required for the intake in which you are applying. You must also meet any subject prerequisites and English language requirements for the program you want to study.
Note: Some high-demand degree programs, such as the Bachelor of Midwifery and Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours), may have threshold scores too high to achieve with TPP study. Refer to the respective program page on our website to view the previous minimum selection threshold score (ATAR/Selection Rank) required for admission for a guide.
If you have other qualifications that you want assessed for a Selection Rank you should provide copies of the documents so that the qualifications can be verified. Suitable documents would be a certificate of completion and a transcript of results. Students may be awarded a selection rank based on the documented qualifications. Each eligible qualification will receive a separate selection rank. Selection ranks from separate qualifications are not added together.
