Selection and Participation in Higher Education

This report deals with how university selection procedures can better support student diversity and success in higher education.  It was prepared by the Centre for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) at the University of Melbourne, with funding from the Go8 and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

The report finds that while tertiary entrance rank (ATAR) is a good indicator of likely success at university, there are other indicators which can be used in combination with the ATAR to support social inclusion in higher education.

In commissioning this report the Go8 aims to improve the way university selection criteria and practices foster diversity of participation and student success in an expanding tertiary education environment.
