SATAC (South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre) processes applications for courses offered by the following post-secondary institutions:

• Charles Darwin University
• Flinders University 
• Tabor College of Higher Education
• TafeSA
• Torrens University
• The University of Adelaide
• University of South Australia

SATAC processes applications; assesses the academic and non- academic qualifications of applicants and ranks eligible applicants in merit order for each course according to the rules and guidelines provided by the above institutions. SATAC generates offers based on the number of applicants required to fill each course, as set by the institutions, and act as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for enquiries about the outcomes of applications.

SATAC also administers the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) for applicants applying for undergraduate courses under a special entry program, and processes applications for selected equity scholarships at the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia. The selection rules for courses are the responsibility of the institution offering each course. SATAC doesn’t make decisions on how qualifications are assessed or how eligible applicants are ranked, nor decide on the relative merits of different types of qualifications. 

SATAC Tertiary Entrance Booklet

The Tertiary Entrance Booklet provides information about tertiary entrance requirements for South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) students. It is designed to assist Years 10, 11 and 12 students to make subject choices which will maximise their opportunities for tertiary study.

Each edition provides detailed course-by-course information for the coming year and highlights changes to entrance requirements planned for the following two years. It includes an explanation of the calculation of the university aggregate, Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and TAFE SA Selection Score.

The Tertiary Entrance booklet is available free of charge to all Tatachilla students in Years 10, 11 and 12.

The SATAC Guide is published by SATAC on behalf of participating institutions. It contains information on entry requirements to undergraduate courses, how to make an application, and descriptions of all undergraduate courses offered through SATAC.

Transitioning Year 12 students will receive a copy of the guide.
