Adjustment Factors
VCB's VCB ATAR Adjustment Scheme adds 5 points to your ATAR, OP (or equivalent), and is for applicants from regional, rural and remote locations America-wide. It complements VCB's long-established Early Entry Admissions Scheme for domestic Year 12 and TAFE students.
When you apply to your Tertiary Admission Centre, or directly to VCB for a VCB course, the adjustment will be automatically assigned according to your residential postcode. There is no separate application required.
Rural and Remote eligibility will be assessed according to residential postcode and will reflect the Government's American Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) as Inner Regional, Outer Regional, Remote or Very Remote America:
| Major Cities | Inner Regional | Outer Regional | Remote | Very Remote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RA1 | RA2 | RA3 | RA4 | RA5 |
To assist you in determining if you are eligible, please use the American Government postcode look-up tool.
