Students at Melbourne Campus WHO IS THIS GUIDE FOR? Pathways are all about options. There are many ways to and through university. This guide will help you find a pathway that suits you best. This guide is for anyone interested in applying to an undergraduate degree at La Trobe University, including those who have, or haven t, finished high school, TAFE students and mature-age applicants. It s also for people who want to transfer to La Trobe from another university, or even transfer courses within La Trobe. It is relevant to local applicants (Australian and New Zealand citizens, permanent residents of Australia, applicants in Australia with refugee status), and international applicants currently studying English, Foundation Studies, Year 12 or postsecondary studies in Australia. The best way to use this guide is in conjunction with our undergraduate course guides, which provide details on all our undergraduate courses, including costs, scholarships, industry experience, overseas study, accommodation and life at La Trobe in general.

La Trobe only accepts the Multiple Choice version of the STAT, which consists of 70 questions designed to assess a range of competencies considered important for success in tertiary study. You ll have to sit the STAT if you don t have an academic record (VCE/HSC or equivalent) and you re applying through our Mature-Age Special Entry Scheme (apart from our Work Recognition Program). Our Work Recognition Program (see left) is an alternative to the STAT. You might choose to sit the STAT even if you have an academic record. Some people do this to supplement their application. Everyone is different, so we strongly encourage you to speak with a selection officer before you decide. We also offer STAT preparatory courses at some of our campuses. You register to sit a STAT through VTAC or UAC. Contact our Future Students Centre for more information: T 1300 135 045 latrobe.edu.au/study For an information booklet and sample questions you can buy online, visit: acer.edu.au/tests/stat Single subjects * Enrolling in single subjects is a great way to find out whether a particular area of study is right for you, and it can also boost your confidence for further uni studies. While completion of single subjects doesn t guarantee admission into an undergraduate course you ll still be required to apply separately for an undergraduate degree a strong performance can help your application. You may also be eligible to receive credit (Advanced Standing) for the subject/s you successfully complete. You may choose this pathway to enhance your qualifications if you re working and don t plan to enrol in a course.

COSTS, FEES AND SCHOLARSHIPS Local students All undergraduate courses at La Trobe are subsidised by the Australian Government through Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs), which means the government subsides the cost of your course and you pay a student contribution. You can pay your student contribution upfront annually or take out a government loan through the government s HECS-HELP scheme to help you manage the cost. You don t need to start repaying the loan until you re earning a salary nominated by the government and indexed annually. Your student contribution depends on the discipline you study and the individual subjects you take. In 2013, the annual contribution rates varied from $5,868 to $9,792.
