Coding notes

The entry cut-off to be reported is the published lowest entry cut-off for the previous years’ Year 12 students who received an offer of a fee paying place in this course, through standard admission, in the main round of admission for the current academic year, where academic qualifications were the sole criterion for offer of a domestic fee paying place (except for school subject prerequisites).

The entry cut-off to be reported is the value for the common index that has been agreed by MCEETYA. The values for the common index will range from 0001 to 9995. The common index is given different names in different states as listed below:
  • SA/NT - Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER);
  • VIC - Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank (ENTER);
  • WA - Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER);
  • TAS - Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER);
  • ACT - Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR);
  • NSW - Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR); and
  • QLD- Interstate transfer Index (ITI)

HEPs must provide entry cut-off information according to the postcode location of the campus.
Queensland HEPs may provide an entry cut-off value for this field.

In cases where there is direct entry or no TAC is involved in the admission process, HEPs are to provide the equivalent main round entry cut-off for the course.
