University entrance for Northern Territory students
To obtain a university aggregate and an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) students must:
- qualify for the NTCET
- comply with the rules regarding precluded combinations
- comply with the rules regarding counting restrictions
- complete at least 90 credits of study in Tertiary Admissions Subjects (TAS) and Recognised Studies at Stage 2 in a maximum of three attempts which need not be in consecutive years
- of the 90 credits of study a minimum of 60 credits of study must be from 20 credit TAS*
*Normally 10 credit subjects do not count towards this requirement but some 10 credit subjects in the same area, when studied in pairs, can substitute for a 20 credit subject. These are called valid pairs.
