How to apply for an additional course

To apply for additional Headstart courses you must pass your prior Headstart course. However, you don't need to wait until you know your final grade before you apply. If your grade is not known at the time of submitting your application you will be enrolled on the condition that you pass your prior course for that enrolment to continue. Once official grades are released your application will be assessed.

Apply by completing the Headstart Continuing Enrolment form on the Application forms page. Submit the form to your school’s Headstart Coordinator to complete the School's Statement of Support. They will forward it to USC by the due date.

Nominate your course in your application so your enrolment can be processed. If you're not sure what to study, consider your options from Choosing a course.

Selecting class times

We will be in touch with you with information about how to select your preferred class times so be sure to check your emails regularly and keep your email address up-to-date.

You may be able to change your lecture and tutorial times, if required, after confirming your high school timetable.

^ You may also be required to meet additional entry requirements for programs with high entry cut-offs and / or prerequisites. Students are expected to successfully complete Year 12.
* The required standard of achievement is a grade of 4 on a 7-point scale, or a Pass grade.

Fees

Although the first Headstart course you complete will have no tuition fees, your additional Headstart courses will have a $400 per course contribution fee. A number of scholarships are available to cover this cost.
