JCU Prep

Your application for JCU Prep depends on your previous educational and work experience:

If you wish to use JCU Prep as a pathway into a JCU bachelor's degree

You should apply for your preferred bachelor's course through Queensland Tertiary Admission Centre (QTAC), using the QTAC code for that course. If you do not meet the entry requirements, JCU may offer you a QTAC packaged offer, where you receive an offer into JCU Prep and your preferred bachelor's course at the same time.

If you want to start with JCU Prep, and:

• You received an ATAR
  If you completed Year 12 in the last three years and achieved an ATAR (or equivalent), you should apply for entry to JCU Prep through QTAC, using the QTAC code in the Fast Facts section above.
• You didn't receive an ATAR or you have previously studied with JCU
  If you left school before Year 12, you completed Year 12 but didn't receive an ATAR (or equivalent) or have previously studied one or more subjects at JCU, you should apply for JCU Prep directly, through our Online Application Portal.

Check the JCU application due dates page to ensure you meet the deadline for your chosen trimester.

You may be eligible for entry into a JCU course through your previous paid work experience. Explore how JCU recognises the experience you have gained through your career here to find out more.
