Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Access Entry Scheme
Confirmation of Aboriginality
Undergraduate degree programs
This initiative of Federal Government policy is designed to provide access to higher education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people if they do not otherwise qualify for university entrance. All applicants to Wilto Yerlo Preparatory Program and CASM Foundation programs and the University of Adelaide undergraduate degree programs must be 17 years of age prior to the start of the academic year (the first week in March) in which they wish to enrol.
Applicants are assessed by Wilto Yerlo in conjunction with Faculty/School staff. Students are selected on the basis of their
- written application
- literacy & numeracy test results
- selection interview
Students wanting to study at CASM must also undertake a musical audition.

Confirmation of Aboriginality
Access to the University of Adelaide under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Scheme is exclusively for people of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origins.
Wilto Yerlo therefore ask that applicants provide confirmation of their origins by completing a 'Confirmation of Aboriginality' Form and having it endorsed by an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community organisation.
An Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is someone who:
- is of Aboriginal and/or Islander descent
- identifies as Aboriginal or Islander; and
- is accepted as such by the community in which he or she lives or has lived.
The University of Adelaide undergraduate degree programs
Students wishing to enrol in a undergraduate degree program at the University of Adelaide must do so through a SATAC (South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre) application. Wilto Yerlo staff can assist with this application.
A detailed handbook is available from SATAC (the SATAC Guide) which explains all admissions processes for the tertiary institutions of South Australia.
SATAC can be contacted at 104 Frome Street, Adelaide, or by telephone on 8224 4000, or at http://www.satac.edu.au/.
Details regarding fees, program requirements and course details for the University of Adelaide are available at the University Contact Centre or in the student section of the University's web site
