Regional Bonus Points

The University of New England (UNE) is pleased to announce a generous Australia-wide, 5 Regional Bonus Points Scheme for all eligible applicants applying to study in 2012.

The scheme is for applicants from regional, rural and remote locations and reflects UNE’s commitment to social inclusion principles. It complements UNE’s long-established Early Entry Admissions Scheme for domestic Year 12 and TAFE students.

When a student applies to their Tertiary Admission Centre, or directly to UNE for a UNE course, the bonus points will be automatically assigned according to their residential postcode. There is no separate application required.

Rural and Remote eligibility will be assessed according to residential postcode and will reflect the Government’s Australian Standard Geographical Classification (AGSC) as Inner Regional, Outer Regional, Remote or Very Remote Australia:
