Entry schemes

At Monash, we know that your ATAR might not accurately reflect your academic abilities.

A number doesn’t define your potential. That's why we offer schemes that can help you enter your preferred course, even if your ATAR is below the lowest selection rank.

Most undergraduate courses at Monash have a Monash Guarantee ATAR, which is lower than the expected selection rank for that course.

SEAS adjusts your selection rank by considering circumstances that may have affected your education. This gives you a better chance of getting an offer for the course you want.

Your selection rank starts with your ATAR and adjusts this number up depending on the impact to your education.

Monash uses your selection rank (adjusted SEAS ATAR) when making offers for course entry.

The Indigenous Entry Scheme offers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants admission to a range of undergraduate courses with a significantly lower ATAR requirement (an achieved ATAR of 50+, higher for some courses).

What did you think of university growing up? 

“Being from a disadvantaged background and the first generation of my family to have the opportunity to study, I thought of university as the place of golden opportunities for my future and the future of my family as well.”
- Henna Wahdati

What difference did SEAS make in helping you access Monash?

“I was eligible for SEAS on the basis of my rural education. This helped me immensely, as it bumped my ATAR up just enough to allow me entry into the Bachelor of Laws (Hons) and Arts. This was invaluable, and without it, I probably wouldn't be where I am today, graduating with a law degree at the end of this year and already working in the legal field.”
- Ciara Bellis

How have your unique experiences benefited you in your studies?

"I am studying paramedicine at the Peninsula campus because, while being a community-centred person, I feel I have a unique skill set developed by my previous disadvantages, that allows me to connect with patients and advocate for their care from an empathetic standpoint."
- Jess Fitzgerald

What would it mean to you to see more students from underrepresented schools go to university?

“It represents breaking through systemic barriers. It would reinforce the belief that every student, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to pursue higher education and achieve their full potential.”
- Azada Qasimi
