Other Admission Considerations

During the application process, you will be asked to nominate if you are of Aboriginal and/ or Torres Strait Islander origin. If you indicate this Indigenous status, the Indigenous Engagement Division will be advised, so that they can make contact with you to make you aware of the support you will receive as an indigenous student with CQUniversity.

Domestic applicants who are relying on qualifications gained overseas to meet course entry requirements must include their testamur and full official academic transcripts (both original and translated if not issued in English) as part of their application.

Overseas qualifications must meet relevant Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) standards. Applicants unsure if their qualification meets the relevant AQF standards are encouraged to apply (with relevant supporting documentation) to ensure a full assessment can be completed.

CQUniversity is a member of the Elite Athlete Friendly University Network (EAFUN). Under this arrangement, CQUniversity students who are recognised as elite athletes, coaches or performers are provided with the assistance they need at university, so they can meet their educational, sporting and performance commitments. This means that, where possible, we will provide you with flexible arrangements for study, assessment and/or attendance, along with other support, to assist you, as an elite student athlete, coach or performer to achieve your sporting, performance and education goals. CQUniversity does not apply adjustments to an applicant's selection rank for elite athlete, coach or performer status.

You can find out more information and check eligibility criteria, by viewing our Elite Sportsperson and Performer Policy.
