Document details Undergraduate Semester 1 2011

 

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.

 

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

 

If you are required to provide documents for current year (2010) studies, submit these as soon as they are available.

 

You must provide certified copies of original documents.  Do not send irreplaceable originals eg your year 12 certificate or degree parchment.  SATAC does not return documents, nor does it keep documents submitted in previous years.

 

You may bring your original documents in person to SATAC's front counter, where SATAC staff will photocopy them, stamp the photocopies 'original sighted' and sign them.

 

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.

Tertiary

 

Higher education study at a university, institute of technology, college of advanced education or teachers college etc

You must supply an academic transcript which shows all subjects undertaken and results achieved (including withdrawals and failures) together with a grading key.  You can obtain this from the student records office of the institution at which you studied.

 

Do not supply individual statements of results - only a full academic transcript is acceptable.  If the course is complete, you must also provide a copy of the award parchment.

 

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.

 

Documents in a foreign language

If any of your tertiary documents is in a language other than English you must submit a certified copy of the original document and a full and complete translation.  For transcripts, the translation must show results for all subjects undertaken.  All translations must be certified by an independent accredited translator.  Certification must be original; photocopies of the certification will not be accepted.

Personal competencies 

 

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

 

You must systematically address each of the criteria outlined in the table here

The criteria are designed to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate that you have developed, through your life experiences, the skills and abilities to be successful in a tertiary course.  If you do not address the criteria you will receive a poor personal competencies rank.

·       Regard each criterion as important and address each one individually, listing them under subheadings.

·       Include any examples where relevant.

·       You may wish to provide the same example as evidence, where appropriate, under more than one heading - this is acceptable.

·       Type, or if not possible, neatly write your statement.

·       Keep to the maximum size of three A4 pages (750-1000 words).

 

You must sign and date the statement yourself to verify that the information provided within it is true.
