Each year, the University of Sydney offers a Special Admissions Process for agents applying to Semester 2. Our Special Admissions Process aims to speed up the postgraduate course application process. It will allow students to receive their eCOEs early and plan the logistics around their study at the University of Sydney.
It is important to note that all applicants who apply for one of the SAP processes are required to achieve a result at least 5 points higher than the GPA required for the course applied. For example, where a GPA of 65% is required for the course applied for, the new Special Admissions Process will require a GPA of 70%. The higher GPA requirement will apply to all Special Admissions Processes including OSAP, SAP and CET SAP from July 2020 intake onwards. We require any new requests to participation in one of the SAP processes for July 2020 intake to be sent to the Admissions Team after this date.
