Find out about whether you are eligible and how to apply for inpUTS.

What is inpUTS?

InpUTS is an educational access scheme (EAS) that allows us to consider your application and any significant educational challenges you have experienced.

We value the diversity of our community and this extends to recognising and supporting students whose experiences would previously have stopped them from attending university.  

If your application for inpUTS is successful, you will be eligible for 10 adjustments towards your selection rank.

Who can apply through inpUTS?

To apply you must:

• be an Australian citizen, a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident of Australia (including a holder of an Australian permanent resident humanitarian visa)
• submit a UAC application, preferencing at least one UTS course preference by the last 'change of preferences' date for each UAC admissions round
• be able to demonstrate that you’ve experienced long-term educational disadvantage due to circumstances beyond your control or choosing because of family, personal or financial circumstances. Visit the UAC website (opens external site) for the categories of disadvantage you can claim and the required documents to include in your application.

InpUTS is assessed progressively by UAC. Before any adjustment points are applied, you must have received a notification from UAC confirming your eligibility at UTS, and meet the minimum ATAR of 69, or 80 for Law courses. If you are eligible and meet the ATAR criteria, 10 adjustment points will automatically apply to your selection rank. 

If you have questions about your eligibility for the UTS inpUTS Scheme, please call the Centre for Social Justice & Inclusion on (02) 9514 1084.
