ATAR Calculator.

Waiting for your ATAR results can be nail-biting so you can use La Trobe's ATAR calculator to find out what your estimated ATAR score is.

Just put in your raw marks for an English subject, and three of your other VCE subjects and they’ll calculate an estimated ATAR for you.

You can even see what courses you’re eligible for, based on that estimated ATAR.

Pathway and Entry Finder Pathway Tool.

If you’re concerned your ATAR might not get you into uni, don’t stress. Use La Trobe’s pathway tool to find out how you can get into a course you’re interested in based on an estimated ATAR.

By answering a series of questions, the pathway tool can recommend a course to you based on your interests and also show you different entry pathways into that course.

This might mean completing another qualification like a diploma or associate degree and then transferring in.

Support Hub.

And at the end of the day if you’re still feeling like you need extra support, hit up La Trobe’s student services team and they can help answer any q’s you might have around course info, pathways, how to arrange your preference list and next steps.

And you can check out campus events such as their Change of Preference Fest, on 12 Dec where you can speak to a course advisor to help you make your choice.

Head to La Trobe’s website and you can find heaps of different pathways into your dream course.
