Domestic Students

• Contact the Registrar to discuss your interest in theological studies, or to request a call back
• Submit an autobiographical statement (750-1000 words) which introduces you to the College and also outlines the reason(s) why you wish to undertake theological education. Please refer to GUIDELINES FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENTS (PDF)

ONCE ADVISED, YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE:

• APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION FORM (PDF) [except audit students]
• Proof of Citizenship (e.g. copy of birth certificate or current passport)
• A copy of your Driver Licence
• Certified copies of academic transcripts [except audit students] or ask your university or tertiary institution to provide an official digital version of transcript(s) and academic document(s) (e.g. My eQuals)
• A digital photograph of passport size and quality, taken not more than 3 months prior, submitted as a jpeg file. These are easily obtainable from Australia Post, Officeworks and some pharmacies.
• An autobiographical statement (as cited above)
• A reference letter from a bishop or priest who is willing to serve as a referee on your behalf [Note: Any applicant whose parish life is not within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia normally requires a blessing from their respective local bishop and a reference letter from him or from a priest designated by him which is written with his permission and on his behalf]. GUIDELINES FOR REFERENCE LETTERS (PDF).
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) documents or evidence of equivalent English Language test (if previous academic training was undertaken in a language other than English).
• An entrance test (e.g. short assignment, online quiz) may be required if you are seeking admission into an undergraduate course under Mature Age or Special Entry provisions.

Important Notice: All students need a Unique Student Identifier (USI). A USI is your individual education identifier for life issued by the Commonwealth Government. It creates an online record of your training attainments in Australia. You only have to create it once. If you do not already have a USI you must apply online.

Students interested in accessing the Australian Government loan scheme FEE-HELP as a means of paying for their tuition should indicate this on their APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION FORM and ENROLMENT FORM. Accessing FEE-HELP requires an online application procedure [once only for each new course] which is referred to as an Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF). The Registrar will guide the applicant through this process.
