Tertiary Access Course (TAC)

The Tertiary Access Course (TAC) is designed to prepare students, who may not have completed secondary school or who do not have the academic entry requirements, to enrol in some undergraduate courses at JCU. TAC requires six months of full-time study or one year of part-time study. Although this course is primarily designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, it is also open to non-Indigenous students.

TAC is available on campus (internal) or off campus (external).

TAC aims to:

• provide students with the academic skills to enter their preferred choice of undergraduate course;

• provide students with the formal prerequisites for entry into their preferred undergraduate course;

• introduce students to a variety of university subjects;

• equip students with the appropriate literacy and IT skills for their chosen degree.
