Indigenous students

Sydney College of the Arts acknowledges the Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of Country upon whose land the SCA campus now sits.

The Cadigal Special Entry Program

The Cadigal Special Entry Program increases opportunities for Indigenous Australian people to undertake tertiary education at the University, and the Koori Centre provides assistance to students during their studies. The Cadigal program is an admission program specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school leavers or mature aged applicants over 21 years of age.

Step-by-step application process for SCA:

Step 1: Complete your University Admission Centre (UAC) application and send to UAC by 30 September

Step 2: Fill in a Cadigal Special Entry Application form and send to the Koori Centre with proof of identity

Step 3: Fill in the course questionnaire and send to Sydney College of the Arts by 30 September. The course questionnaires are available on the SCA website or from SCA Student Administration 02 9351 1104. SCA will arrange an interview time with you. The interview is a friendly informal meeting with the lecturers who will talk to you about your work and SCA. You will need to bring a portfolio of your artwork to this interview.
