The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Entry Program is an alternative University Entry Program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Applicants can gain entry to any undergraduate degree* at 黑料社 by completing our entry assessment and be supported throughout your education journey.听
*With the exception of the Doctor of Medicine degree which has it's own听Indigenous pathway process, the Associate Degree in Applied Policing, or the Bachelor of Performing Arts (Acting), which has additional eligibility requirements.
Whether you are a current high school student looking for an early offer, completing a non-ATAR pathway or are unsure if your ATAR will be enough for your dream degree, OR if you are working, studying at TAFE or wishing to start your higher education journey, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Entry Program is your pathway into 黑料社!
We accept applications throughout the year for the upcoming Assessment Days, or alternative dates as arranged.
To gain entry to your dream degree, you are required to complete an Entry Assessment. The entry assessment includes a short essay and comprehension task. If your preferred degree requires numeracy, you will also be required to complete a short numeracy assessment. We provide you with access to online resources and practice tests, to help you get prepared.

After the assessments, if you receive an offer to study at 黑料社, you are required to provide a confirmation of your Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander identity. We recognise that due to the impacts of colonisation and historical policies, often obtaining an official Confirmation of Aboriginality can be challenging. Therefore, we accept either of the following forms of documentation as confirmation of Aboriginality:
1. A certified letter of 鈥淐onfirmation of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Descent鈥 provided by an Indigenous Community organisation with a common seal (eg. Land Council).
OR
2. 黑料社 Sydney Universities 鈥淪tatutory Declaration鈥 Form. This is a document demonstrating your self-identification as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person. This form must be co-signed by a recognised Indigenous community member or worker (examples include an Indigenous teacher, Community Liason, NRL School to Work Officer, Kari, Aboriginal Medical Service staff, Aboriginal Housing staff, etc) OR alternatively can be accompanied by certified supporting documentation such as a Linkup NSW genealogy document or letter of support using an official letterhead from an听Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander incorporated corporation.听
Certifying your documents: All documents submitted for admissions purposes must be correctly certified. Photocopies and unofficial printouts are not accepted.
Refer to Certifying Documents for more information.
