Bachelor Honours degrees4.20 Applicants for admission to a one-year full-time (or equivalent) Bachelor Honours degree i (as defined in Schedule 1, Student Rules) must apply directly to UTS, providing the necessary supporting documentation as determined by the relevant faculty. These applications are assessed by faculties and admissions are coordinated by either the Student Administration Unit (SAU) for domestic students or UTS International for international students. i. This does not include awards on the basis of meritorious results in a subject, for example, an award ‘with honours’ or ‘with distinction’. Recognition of prior learning (RPL)4.21 Applicants are required to provide the information specified and meet the processing deadlines set by UTS in relation to RPL applications. Further guidance is provided in the Recognition of Prior Learning Procedures. Admissions schemes at UTS4.22 The following special admissions schemes are available at UTS as approved and amended by Academic Board from time to time in line with the policy.
Verification of qualifications4.23 Students applying through UAC must submit evidence of their qualifications for verification in line with the procedures outlined in the UAC Guide. 4.24 Direct applicants must normally provide to UTS:
and, where relevant:
4.25 Alternatively to 4.24, direct applicant qualifications may be accepted if they are verified according to documentation verification procedures as set out in the UAC Guide. 4.26 Staff must report to their supervisor any admissions application with suspected fraudulent documents, falsified documentation or untrue information. Action may be taken under Rule 5.6. 4.27 Any document submitted with an admissions application should be verified with the organisation who has, or is claimed to have, issued the document. Provision of additional information for admissions4.28 Faculties may choose to request portfolios, personal statements, questionnaires and/or interviews as part of the application process, in order to provide additional information to assess suitability and eligibility for some UTS courses. This may result in an adjustment to the ATAR to determine the selection rank as described in the relevant UAC selection algorithm approved annually by Academic Board. 4.29 Criteria for the assessment of these additional information components for coursework courses must be determined by the relevant faculty board, included in the annual selection criteria submission to CAC and approved by Academic Board. 4.30 Criteria for the assessment of these additional information components for graduate research courses must be determined by the relevant faculty board, submitted to the Graduate Research School Board and approved by Academic Board in line with Rule 5.8.2. 4.31 Approved criteria for the assessment of additional information must be available to applicants upon request from the relevant faculty. 4.32 While inherent requirements are not considered as part of the admissions processes, staff and students should be aware of all course requirements and their impact on the potential for course progression or completion. UTS will, where it is within the power of the university to do so, make reasonable adjustments to support all students. Excluded students4.33 In line with section 10, Student Rules, students may not apply for admission to UTS during a period of exclusion from UTS or any other higher education institution. 4.34 Applicants who have completed a period of exclusion must disclose any details of their exclusion and reapply for admission through the relevant application process outlined in the policy, these procedures and section 5, Student Rules. 4.35 In addition to the provisions outlined in Rule 5.9.3, all applicants who have been previously excluded for unsatisfactory performance from a course of study at UTS or any other higher education institution must, by the approved timeframes:

4.37 Any applicant who does not disclose details of any period of exclusion will have their application suspended and action may be taken under Rule 5.6. 5. Procedural ownership and support5.1 Responsible ownerThe Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students), in consultation with the Provost, is responsible for approving and enforcing these procedures under the Admissions and Recognition of Prior Learning Policy, ensuring its statements and principles are observed. 5.2 Procedures contactsThe Director, Student Administration Unit (SAU) and the Director, UTS International are responsible for the implementation of this policy and act as primary points of contact for advice on implementing its provisions. 6. DefinitionsThese definitions apply for these procedures. These are presented in addition to the definitions outlined in Schedule 1, Student Rules and the Admissions and Recognition of Prior Learning Policy. Current school leavers (CSL) mean a person who will complete or has completed a recognised Australian Year 12 qualification or overseas equivalent in the year immediately preceding admission. Direct applicants means individuals that are required to apply directly to UTS in line with the policy and procedures, rather than via UAC or another entry means. Intake loads determine, for each course, the minimum ATAR required (minimum selection rank) for admission of Commonwealth supported and fee-paying students to that course. Selection rank means the ATAR plus any adjustment factors. Approval information

Appendix 1. Foundation studies courses and their recognition at UTSThe following statements outline the types of foundation studies courses and the manner of their recognition at UTS: 1. The UTS Foundation Studies program offered by Insearch Limited is assessed based on the UAC assessment schedule B1017. 2. Australian foundation programs should be listed in UAC assessment schedules and assessed based on B1010–B1017 for ‘Differentiated Tertiary Preparation Courses based on Full Time Equivalence’ (FTE). 3. All other Australian foundation programs not listed in these assessment schedules (covered in 1 or 2 above) are assessed based on UAC assessment schedules B1110–13 for ‘Undifferentiated Tertiary Preparation Courses based on Full Time Equivalence (FTE)’. 4. An overseas foundation program listed in the UAC Preparatory assessment schedule is assessed based on the relevant UAC schedule. 5. In all other cases, endorsement for recognition of a foundation studies course must be made to CAC by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) following consideration of a due diligence report prepared by UTS International. This due diligence report must be submitted to the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students) for consideration by the Associate Deans (Teaching and Learning) Network before submission to CAC. CAC’s endorsement is then forwarded to the Provost for approval. In exceptional circumstances, endorsement through executive action may be sought from the Chair, CAC. 6. All foundation programs approved for admission under point 5 (above) must be included in the annual selection criteria submission to the CAC for reporting to Academic Board. This must also be captured in the Register of Admissions Standards (Staff Connect) maintained by the University Academic Programs Office (UAPO).
