H classification is given to a year 11 and 12 course which is designed and accredited by an Australian higher education provider and the ACT BSSS. Successful completion of the course can be recognised towards an undergraduate degree with that provider. Students can study a maximum of two H courses.
Recognition towards the Senior Secondary Certificate and Tertiary Entrance Statement
Students can include H courses/units to meet the requirements for an ACT Senior Secondary Certificate and Tertiary Entrance Statement. The grade(s) achieved in the unit(s) will be recorded on the Senior Secondary Certificate using the university descriptors.
H courses are reported separately on the Senior Secondary Certificate and Tertiary Entrance Statement. The score achieved by the student in the units will be used in calculating a course score. Scaled H course scores may contribute to a student's Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) calculation.
Students interested in studying a H course should enquire at their college or contact the relevant provider.
Current H course Providers:
- Australian National University through the ANU Extension Program
- University of Canberra through the UC Accelerated Pathways Program
