Deakin is committed to making higher education accessible for students who've faced challenges along their journey.

Our equity schemes calculator, formerly known as SEAS calculator, lets you explore potential adjustments to your ATAR, based on your circumstances.

Please note that the adjustment displayed in the calculator may differ from your final ATAR adjustment through VTAC selection and it does not constitute an offer from Deakin University. The adjusted ATAR is based on 2022 data and is currently configured for course applications in 2024.
