Special entry programs
If you don't have a high enough OP or rank to get into the course you want, you may be able to improve your chances through our special entry programs.
Some of our special entry programs add bonus points to your OP or rank. You can receive as many of these bonuses as you're eligible for, up to a maximum of five OP bonus points or ten bonus ranks.
You may need to apply separately for these programs, so make sure you check the details.
