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.
Where do I start?
Most undergraduate courses at Monash have a Monash Guarantee ATAR, which is lower than the expected selection rank for that course. If you are eligible for the Monash Guarantee, achieve the Monash Guarantee ATAR for your chosen course (starting at 70.00), and meet all the course entry requirements, you are guaranteed an offer in the course.
You could be eligible for the Monash Guarantee scheme if you:
- have experienced financial disadvantage
- live in a low socio-economic area
- live in or attend school in a regional or remote area
- are an Indigenous Australian
- attend a Monash list under-represented school.
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).
