ACU Guarantee

Early offer program


Guarantee your place at ACU, even before your Year 12 exams. The ACU Guarantee program offers a place at ACU based on your Year 11 results to Year 12 students who are Australian citizens or Permanent Residents. It is specially designed to reflect achievements in your whole life, not only your academic results.

Offers may be made as early as September. Of course, you must still complete your Year 12 exams, but you can do so secure in the knowledge that you've already met ACU entry requirements. You may also enhance your entry score by including short personal statements that give ACU an insight into your personal circumstances and motivation for university study.

ACU Guarantee is only available to domestic students. International students can discover more ways to ACU and start their application process here.

Applications open: 21 July 2025

Applications close: 15 September 2025.

How to apply   Application FAQs   Offer FAQs

By assessing your Year 11 results, we can give you a predicted selection rank and make you an offer before you sit your HSC/VCE/QCE. If you are in NSW/ACT we can access your Year 11 results automatically. If you live outside of those areas, don't worry, we will simply need you to supply school results from Year 11 as part of the application process.

Please note, not all degrees at all campuses are available through this scheme for 2026 entry. Where a campus is listed below, it is only this campus where the course is not offered. These courses may still be available through ACU Guarantee on other campuses where the course is offered and will be available at all campuses via QTAC/VTAC or UAC.
