I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the policies, terms and conditions set forth in the following:
Mandatory consents and acknowledgements
I agree that:
- I will not apply to an institution where I am under a current period of exclusion (or a similar restriction for reenrolment) without having first contacted that institution for advice about my eligibility for a tertiary place.
- I understand that an institution may rescind any offer made to me, without reason, prior to my final enrolment in the course.
- I acknowledge that QTAC may invite me to participate in a range of assessment activities (such as online tests, or written statements) to determine my suitability and competitiveness for particular courses, as directed by the institutions offering these courses. Whilst my participation in these activities is voluntary, my application may be negatively affected by failure to complete these assessments. I acknowledge that if I engage in any conduct designed to defeat the purpose of these assessments (such as being assisted by another person), QTAC may cancel my application and I will forfeit any fees paid.
I agree that QTAC may:
- contact me to provide information about my application and other QTAC goods or services that may be relevant to me
- disclose my personal information to institutions where I have applied for admission to enable those institutions to communicate with me directly about goods and services which may be relevant to me
- disclose my personal information to the Queensland Department of Education and the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority
- disclose my personal information to interstate or New Zealand admission centres to facilitate any application for admission I may have made interstate or in New Zealand
- disclose my personal information to institutions participating in QTAC to which I may not have applied for admissions, to allow those institutions to perform analysis of application and enrolment patterns, and to conduct other research beneficial to that institution or the education sector
- use my personal and sensitive information to perform analysis of application and enrolment patterns, and to conduct other research beneficial to QTAC or the education sector
- store, use and disclose my personal and sensitive information to assess future applications that I may make through QTAC or to institutions that use QTAC as an admissions agent
- disclose my sensitive information to institutions where I have applied for admission for purposes directly related to the purpose for which the sensitive information was collected by QTAC, including to enable communication with me about directly-related services
- disclose my personal information to the extent necessary to investigate a reasonable suspicion that I have provided false, incorrect or misleading information to QTAC
- disclose my personal information, excluding my sensitive information, to my school (if I am a current Year 12) to enable the school to provide me with counselling services; and
- otherwise collect, store, hold, use and disclose my personal information in keeping with QTAC’s Privacy Policy.
If QTAC finds that I have provided false, incorrect or misleading information, I agree that QTAC may:
- cancel my application, including forfeiture of all fees paid
- exclude me from lodging a QTAC application or accessing other QTAC services for a period of up to two years
- advise institutions where I have applied for admission that I have provided false, incorrect or misleading information to QTAC, which may result in the withdrawal of any tertiary offers made and other action as deemed appropriate by the institution; and
- advise other providers of entry to tertiary education in Australia (including higher education providers and tertiary admissions centres) that I have provided false, incorrect or misleading information to QTAC.
ATAR Consent
QTAC discloses individual ATARs, ATAR eligibility and aggregated (de-identified) ATARs as calculated by QTAC to the school you attended in year 12. If you do not consent to QTAC disclosing your individual ATAR or ATAR eligibility to the school you attended in year 12, please opt out by selecting the tick box.
If you do not opt out, the school you attended in year 12 will be provided with your individual ATAR or ATAR eligibility. Irrespective of whether you opt out, your ATAR will form part of the aggregated (de-identified) ATAR results provided to your school.
If you do not opt out when creating either your ATAR account or your QTAC Application and later wish to exercise your option to opt-out, you may change your option in the ATAR portal on the ‘Your Details’ page, or use the ‘Manage Account’ option in the QTAC Application portal.
