Document details Undergraduate Semester 1 2012
There are different types of documentation required for different qualifications. When you have completed the details on your UniWeb application, go to the Documents section where you will find a list of the documents which you must provide in support of your application. For each type of document listed, click on the links below for details.
In many cases, such as for recent year 12 or university study in Australia, SATAC can obtain documents on your behalf. However, for some qualifications, such as TAFE/VET or overseas studies, you will need to provide supporting documents. These documents must be certified copies of the originals (see below).
Do not send documents to SATAC unless:
· the document is listed as a requirement in the Documents section of your UniWeb application or;
· a specific document is required for one or more of the courses you have listed among your preferences. Check the course entry for your preferred course(s) very carefully, particularly the information provided under the sub-heading Additional application requirements.
General information
There may be delays in assessing your qualifications if you do not supply the correct documentation in support of your application. When you send or bring documents to SATAC after you have submitted your UniWeb application, make sure they are clearly marked with your current name and your SATAC university reference number. If you are required to provide documents for current year (2011) studies, submit these as soon as they are available.
Studies undertaken overseas If any of your documents are in a language other than English, you must submit certified copies of both the original documents and the full translation.

It is your responsibility to comply with any requests by SATAC to provide further documentation, either in the original language or translated into English.
Original documents
Certification of documents You may also take your original documents, together with photocopies to the issuing authority eg year 12 Board of Studies, Registrar of a tertiary institution or to a Justice of the Peace or similar for certification. The person who certifies the photocopies must attest to having sighted the originals of the documents concerned. If you are residing interstate, you may take your original documents in person to another tertiary admissions centre, ie UAC in New South Wales, QTAC in Queensland, VTAC in Victoria or TISC in Western Australia for certification. A fee is charged for this service.

If you have mislaid your original certificate, you will need to contact the examinations board in your local state or country to obtain a replacement.

Cross-institutional study If you have undertaken any cross-institutional study ie one or more subjects at a different university from where you are undertaking the majority of your studies, you must supply a copy of the transcript for your cross-institutional studies because these results will often not be included with the results from your ‘home’ university.
Supplementary exam results If you are sitting supplementary examinations, you will need to send or bring the results to SATAC yourself, although in most cases, the results will be too late to affect the outcome of your application. Special arrangements may be made to accept the results from supplementaries which have been granted on medical grounds. If this applies to you, advise SATAC as soon as possible.

must submit a personal competencies statement written according to the
following guidelines:
