Portfolio entry
Portfolio entry provides an alternative entry method which does not rely on the traditional TER score.
It involves assessment of applicants based on a portfolio of evidence showing an ability to succeed in higher education
This pathway caters for:
- School leavers who undertake TEE, WACE Courses and/or ECU approved CAF (Wholly School Assessed) subjects
- Non school leavers who are over 20 years of age in the year they commence studies, who wish to enter university studies after several years away from formal education.
The Portfolio pathway fulfils minimum admission requirements into ECU.
