Estimate your SEAS and other adjustment factors
What are ATAR adjustment factors?
Adjustment factors are additional factors we consider in applications. Adjustment factors (previously bonus points) may be added to an applicant’s raw aggregate score, which will result in the re-ranking of an applicants’ ATAR. Adjustment factors do not add points directly to the ATAR.
Some examples of adjustment factors include performance in specific subjects (subject adjustments), equity and personal factors (SEAS) and La Trobe access schemes. If you are eligible for multiple adjustments, the maximum aggregate adjustments you can receive is 20. However, some of our courses may have specific rules associated with adjustment factors.

Calculate VTAC Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) points
What is the Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS)?
The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) covers a range of access and equity programs. It adjusts your ATAR in recognition of circumstances that may have affected your education.
You may receive additional points depending on the severity of your circumstances. The aggregate points are added to your combined study scores and your ATAR is recalculated, for further information please check the VTAC ATAR and scaling. La Trobe uses this adjusted ATAR during the selection process. If you are applying through VTAC, you need to apply for the SEAS.
The effect of adjustments on your ATAR will vary slightly from year-to-year. The estimate calculated is based on the previous admission period.

*Note: Your adjusted ATAR does not guarantee you entry.
This especially applies to courses with special adjustment factors as they have limited places available.
On application, La Trobe Admissions staff will assess your circumstances to confirm your eligibility for the available adjustments. A maximum of 20 aggregate adjustment points can be granted. The aggregate points are added to your combined study scores and your ATAR is recalculated.
