About SATAC
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. They also administer the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) for applicants applying for undergraduate courses under a special entry program, and process applications for selected equity scholarships at 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 Publications
The Tertiary Entrance booklet provides information about tertiary entrance requirements for South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) 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 and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
