1. lives in and attend school in remote rural or regional areas
2. performs well in particular HSC courses
3. excels in extra-curricular activities in leadership, academia, sport, music or performance
4. is affected by circumstances beyond his control e.g. prolonged illness, disability, financial hardship, language difficulty or sudden education disruption etc.
Bonus points will not change the student's ATAR, but will change his selection rank for a particular course in a particular university. e.g. If a student has an ATAR of 89.00 and, with certain criteria, he is awarded 2 bonus points, then his selection rank becomes 91.00. The student may get an offer for admission to a course with ATAR cut-off less than or equal to 91.00 in that particular university.
Most bonus points are automatically allocated as part of the application process for university entrance. Some bonus points require a direct application to that particular university.
As schemes for bonus points vary from university to university, and from course to course, students are advised to check with individual university's website for details.
Following are some examples of bonus points:
