Mature-Age Special Entry to La Trobe is one avenue to university for people who haven't completed VCE or an equivalent. It's administered through Category 1 of VTAC's Special Entry and Access Scheme (SEAS).

To be eligible for Mature-Age Special Entry to La Trobe, you must not have completed Year 12 (VCE or equivalent). Also, you must:

• be 21 or older on 1 January 2013
• complete the VTAC Personal History Online form
• sit the appropriate Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) as specified in individual course entries in Find a Course.
• complete any other Mature-Age Special Entry requirements specified in individual course entries in
  Find a Course.

It's important to note that applying for Mature-Age Special Entry doesn't guarantee you a place in your preferred course.

But if you don't receive an offer, it's not the end of the road - there are other pathways into La Trobe, including completing a TAFE course, enrolling in another university course or undertaking single subject studies.
