All students who live in the ACT or surrounding regions of NSW may apply for placement in an ACT public college.

What information will you need to complete your application?

  • Your student ID number (if you are currently studying at an ACT government high school)
  • Your residential address. This needs to be the same as that recorded on the ACT Government high schools database, or for students currently at a non-government school, the White Pages telephone directory. Alternatively,
    if your residential address cannot be confirmed in this way, you must send verification to your first preference college and include your application record number as a file reference.
  • Your parent or guardian's address, if this is not the same as your address.
  • Your parent's telephone numbers – home, work, mobile
  • College choice – if you are not currently residing in the Priority Enrolment Area for the college you must include a second choice.
  • All the courses you intend to study
  • Your reasons for applying for each out of area college if you reside outside the Priority Enrolment Area.

What do you do when you have completed the application?

The application should take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete.

Once you have completed the application you should print the final page, which will also provide you with a record number. This number is important and needs to be included in all future correspondence regarding your enrolment.

If you complete another application it will replace any you have previously submitted.

For further information contact the Executive Officer on 6205 5428.
