ANU Extension students can apply for admission into ANU through a simple application, known as a Direct Domestic Application which is a new admissions process introduced in 2019 for current school-leavers that combines admission, accommodation and scholarships. Students that successfully complete an ANU Extension course, may receive an early conditional offer of entry into an ANU bachelor degree program. There are some changes to direct application admissions for 2022. Please follow this link to review these changes for 2022.
