Be seen. Be heard. Be first.
At Collarts, we believe your creative potential and future is more than just a number.
Collarts Priority Pass, our Early Entry Program, allows Year 12 students to secure their place before their results are released. Through an entry conversation, audition, or portfolio, you can show us who you are - not just what’s on paper.
We look for creativity and potential, not just results. So if you're ready to turn what you love into what you do, apply early and lock in your place for Trimester 1 2026.
No ATAR. No stress. Just your future, on your terms.
With Collarts Priority Pass, you can:
→ Apply in Year 12 and secure your spot early - no need to wait for results
→ Be admitted to Collarts based on an entry conversation, audition, or portfolio
→ Be recognised for your potential and creativity – because your creativity is not a number
→ Reduce end-of-year stress by locking in your creative future early
→ Join a community that celebrates originality, not just academic scores
Step 1: Fill out the early entry application form
Step 2: Our team will contact you to arrange an entry conversation, and any other items needed. (The entry conversation is our version of an interview, but more relaxed. It's just a casual discussion where we’ll get to know you, explore your creative passions, your goals, and how they align with what the course has to offer)
Step 3: Receive your outcome within 48 hours - this is where we will contact you and issue you with a conditional offer if successful. This means that that you have met our pre-selection requirements and we would like to officially offer you a place during the December VTAC offer round, subject to you completing year 12 and submitting your VTAC application.
Step 4: Visit vtac.edu.au to create an account and select your Conditionally Offered Collarts course(s) as your top preference
Step 5: Receive and Accept official Offer from Collarts through VTAC on December 23 2025
