Assessments provide pathways for Indigenous students 

Published on 23 November, 2004 

CQU’s Nulloo Yumbah (Indigenous Learning, Spirituality and Research) Centre this week conducted testing and assessment sessions to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people find appropriate pathways into tertiary education.

For people without the formal qualifications to enter university, the Centre can recommend either they enrol in an undergraduate program or in a bridging program that prepares them for study.

Nulloo Yumbah operates a Tertiary Entry Program (TEP) to help applicants gain the desired skills for undergraduate study.

Applicants may also be referred to programs offered by TAFE, STEPS (Skills for Tertiary Entrance Preparatory Studies) or WIST (Women into Science and Technology) to help them reach a standard for university studies.
