Applications open August 4 for 2026 cycle

SATAC applications for 2026 open on Monday, August 4th. We encourage your students to submit their undergraduate applications by 30 September as a higher application processing fee will apply after this date. TAFE SA applications remain free of charge.

Some courses also have early final closing dates; prospective applicants should familiarise themselves with the key dates published in the SATAC Guide or on our website to ensure that they meet all relevant deadlines.

Reminder: Year 12 videos are now live!

A reminder, our new Year 12 information videos are available to you and your students on YouTube.

We encourage you to watch them with your students, to assist understanding the application process and other important details to consider.

They can be watched in the classroom as part of a guided discussion and revisited again with parents/caregivers.

SATAC digital publications

SATAC publications for the 2026 admission year are now available in digital format via our website, reflecting our commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and timely access to the most up-to-date information.

The SATAC Guide lists over 1,000 undergraduate and TAFE SA courses that can be applied for through SATAC. It is an invaluable resource for students researching and exploring their options and getting ready to apply for 2026 study.

The Tertiary Entrance (SACE/NTCET) and the International Baccalaureate booklets provide detailed information on prerequisites, scaling, adjustment factors, and the ATAR to help students make subject selections in school that fit their future study goals.

Tertiary Entrance Statement - SATAC Changes

Up until 2024 SATAC sent the Tertiary Entrance Statement (TES) by post alongside the SACE Record of Achievement. From 2025, this document will only be available digitally via their SACE Students Online account.
Students will be able to download and print this document as they require.
If your students have any questions regarding the information on their statement when it arrives, please refer to them to our Understanding your Tertiary Entrance Statement webpage.
