Determining Your Eligibility

Have you met the minimum GPA requirement? Do you have all the prerequisites?

Figuring out if you’re eligible to apply to a program is a great first step. Eligibility is based on several factors and can differ across universities. To get started, have a look at the following resources:

• Review the Admissions Requirements
• Check out the GPA Conversions page
• Book a chat with us

Minimum vs Competitive
Even if you meet the minimum requirements, it doesn’t always mean you’ll be a competitive applicant.

Minimum GPA/admissions test scores are defined by each university and are the lowest scores required to be eligible to apply.

Competitive GPA/admissions test scores are the minimum scores that receive an offer and can vary year to year.

We’ll always be transparent about your chances of receiving an offer. Not competitive? We’ll help you figure out your options. Sometimes applicants decide to pursue a different study area—we can help with that, too! Check out our helpful FAQs for more insight on eligibility.

Start Your Application

Fill out the OzTREKK application. This application only comes to us, so don’t worry about making a mistake.

Completing your OzTREKK application early is a great way for us to get to know you and your goals, and it ensures you don’t miss a deadline!

What to Expect on the Application
The basics: your full name, address, program of interest, etc., plus your education history.

Once you’ve pressed “Submit,” congratulations! You’re officially an OzTREKK student! We’ll send you a confirmation email and let you know what else is required to complete your university application.

If you’d like to make changes to your application or to your program selection, no problem. We can adjust anything as we go.

Submit Your Documents to OzTREKK

You’ve pressed “Submit” on your OzTREKK application and you’re ready for the next step.

Upload Your Documents to the myOzTREKK Portal
You’ll receive an email with your log-in credentials. Once you’re set up, you can begin uploading your application documents (except transcripts) to the myOzTREKK student portal. We only need one copy of each document.

The myOzTREKK portal is where you’ll be able to keep track of your applications:

• Manage your applications (see where you’ve applied or cancel applications)
• Upload documents like your passport and résumé
• Review your files and education history (make sure everything looks right!)
• Submit questions to your admissions team

When Should I Send My Documents?
The earlier the better! We’ll need all your documents before the application deadlines; the earlier we have them, the more guidance we can provide.

Remember, we’re here for you throughout the entire process, so always feel free to ask us questions.

OzTREKK Submits Your Complete Application(s)

Once all your documents are in, we’ll submit your application to the university and send you a confirmation email with estimated outcome dates.

This is the waiting period. It can be stressful, but now that your application is under assessment, we’ll share everything you need to know in this “layover” phase:

• Resources for confident decision-making if you receive an offer
• Financing information (including contacts)
• Community connections (OzTREKK events and more!)
