Schools Network Access Program (SNAP)

The SNAP access scheme is designed to increase tertiary access and participation of eligible students from SNAP partner schools by giving them priority access to RMIT’s certificate IV, diploma, advanced diploma, associate degree and degree courses.

Am I eligible?

To be eligible to receive SNAP consideration you must:

• be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, a permanent Australian resident, or a person seeking asylum
• be a current student at a SNAP school. Explore our list of SNAP partner schools to find out if your school is eligible
  
• successfully complete any RMIT program prerequisites and extra requirements.

How it works

To receive SNAP consideration for a given course, applicants must have an ATAR that is within 20 points of the lowest selection rank (including adjustments) for that course. Depending on the applicant’s initial ATAR and the competitiveness of the course, this may deem them eligible for an offer. 

For courses that select on a range of criteria such as folio or interview, SNAP applicants receive equivalent consideration on their performance in these tasks.

English study scores for SNAP applicants

A minimum English study score exists for all bachelor degree courses, however it is adjusted for SNAP applicants. This alternative SNAP minimum English study score is five points lower than the published English study score.

For example, where a course has a published minimum English study score of 25 in any English (except EAL) or 30 in English (EAL), SNAP applicants must achieve a minimum study score of 20 in any English (except EAL) or 25 in English (EAL).
