What is the Warawara Alternative Entry Program?
The Warawara Alternative Entry Program is an equity initiative of Macquarie University aimed at increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation within bachelor level programs across all areas of study within the University. It is intended to give an opportunity to those Indigenous people who may not have completed a HSC or acquired a necessary UAC score for entry into their program of choice.
As part of the selection process applicants will be required to attend a two-day assessment workshop in which they will be given the opportunity to demonstrate that they possess the minimal essential skill and knowledge in order to successfully participate in their chosen course.
In many cases, the assessment will involve a demonstration that the applicant possesses a sufficient level of literacy and or numeracy. Particular courses may require additional supporting information, so it is essential. As part of the assessment workshop applicants will also attend an interview. Given that places are limited in numbers, offers will made according to merit, based on demonstrated capacity to undertake University study.
