Guaranteed entry for TAFE graduates

If you have completed a TAFE Diploma or Advanced Diploma, CSU will offer you 'guaranteed entry' into most undergraduate courses.

About guaranteed entry for TAFE students

  • Guaranteed entry is open to Diploma and Advanced Diploma TAFE graduates
  • Students must have completed their TAFE qualification(s) within the last 10 years
  • The TAFE qualification completed does not have to be relevant to what you would like to study at CSU
  • Tertiary Preparation Certificate (TPC) students who have achieved a Tertiary Entrance Score (TES) of 157 or above are also eligible for guaranteed entry into most CSU undergraduate courses.
  • If you've completed a TAFE qualification other than a Diploma or Advanced Diploma, you may still be able to gain entry to CSU. Call us on 1800 334 733 or make an online enquiry.
