Students may obtain Unit Equivalence as follows:
• Up to eight Unit Equivalence through completion of VET programs, • Up to four Unit Equivalence per endorsed program through completion of endorsed programs, or • Up to eight Unit Equivalence through a combination of VET and endorsed programs, with endorsed programs contributing no more than four Unit Equivalence.
The amount of Unit Equivalence allocated to VET and endorsed programs is:
• VET qualifications, • Certificate I is equivalent to two Year 11 units, • Certificate II is equivalent to two Year 11 and two Year 12 units, • Certificate III or higher is equivalent to two Year 11 and four Year 12 units, or • Endorsed programs – SCSA approves a list of programs for Unit Equivalence.
SCSA apply “Unacceptable Course Combinations” to the calculation of an ATAR. These are available on the TISC website (www.tisc.edu.au), in the University Admission document. Examples include:
Chemistry with Integrated Science, Physics with Integrated Science, Indonesian: Background Language with Indonesian: Second Language, Indonesian: First Language with Indonesian: Second Language, Mathematics Applications with Mathematics Specialist; and Mathematics Applications with Mathematics Methods.
Please note:
1. From 2021, SCSA allows students to study both English and Literature, with both courses contributing to the ATAR Ranking in 2022.
2. SCSA impose a maximum credit allowance from study in a single course of four different units in a course of the same context.
For example, students are advised not to study GEPES and AEPES or GECFC and AECFC in
Year 11. SCSA will not accept the Grades achieved for both PES or CFC in order to meet a student’s Graduation.
