Can I apply for Special Consideration in my application?

Updated 25/08/2023 01.02 PM

If you meet the general entry requirements but have experienced challenges or disadvantage which may have affected your results, you may be eligible for special consideration.

Challenges could include:

  • A serious or debilitating illness
  • An extended period of educational disadvantage or personal hardship
To apply, complete the request for Special Consideration Online Form. Note, this form is only for Semester One study periods. If you want to request special consideration when applying for other study periods, email admissions@utas.edu.au

To ask for special consideration in units or courses you are currently studying, please contact U.Connect@utas.edu.au or 13 UTAS (13 8827).

Year 12 students
Year 12 students may not apply for special consideration based on their final results alone. In Tasmania, the Office of Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification provides a Reasonable Adjustments process and also a mechanism to take into account illness or medical conditions resulting in Derived Ratings.

Closing date
Applications for special consideration must be completed by 4 January 2024. Submissions received after this date will not be accepted.
