    About

    UC Connect is a pathways program that helps bridge the gap between your current academic qualifications and the entry requirements of the course you're interested in studying. So, even if you've recently missed out on a university place because you didn't meet the required ATAR, this bridging program can help you gain access to a university education. Places in the program are Commonwealth Supported so there are no course fees for students. However, there is a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
