What is an early conditional offer?

A conditional offer means you’ve been accepted into your chosen course at La Trobe, as long as you meet all course prerequisites and other requirements for your course. For example, you might need to have studied Chemistry in Year 12. You’ll also need to meet the minimum ATAR—but as an extra reward, we’ll make that ATAR lower for you. Look for the Aspire ATAR.

With Aspire, you’ll find out if you’ve been (conditionally) accepted into your course in September or even earlier.

To summarise — to receive an early conditional offer as a Year 12 Aspire applicant, you’ll need to:

• meet the minimum ATAR for your course
• meet the standard prerequisites and any special requirements for your course
• place your Aspire course amongst your preferences in the VTAC/UAC preference list.

If you’ve already completed Year 12, Aspire offers the benefit of minimal entry requirements (e.g. ATAR or equivalent academic performance in further study). Talk to us to find out how you should apply.
