Adult students

The SACE Board has provisions to recognise the learning of re-entry students.

The arrangements are summarised here. For full details, see the SACE Board's Accreditation, Recognition and Certification Policy.

An adult student is a student who is at least 18 years old by 1 January of his or her final year of Stage 2 study and who has left school for at least one continuous year before returning to study.

The SACE Board makes provisions for adult students to be granted up to 110 SACE credits at Stage 1. Adult students are granted 70 credits, plus 20 credits for demonstrating that they have met the literacy requirement, 10 credits for demonstrating that they have met the numeracy requirement, and 10 credits for the compulsory Stage 1 Personal Learning Plan.

To gain the maximum number of credits, adult students must demonstrate that they have met the literacy and numeracy requirements from the range of options described in the SACE Accreditation, Recognition and Certification Policy. One option for adult students is to demonstrate that they have met the literacy and/or numeracy requirements by presenting folio(s) of evidence from sources verified by their school principal.

To complete the SACE, adult students must also gain:

  • 10 credits by achieving a C- grade or better in the Stage 2 Research Project
  • 60 credits by achieving a C- grade or better in Stage 2 Board-accredited subjects, or the equivalent of at least satisfactory achievement in Board-recognised vocational education and training courses
  • 20 credits by achieving an E grade or better in other Board-accredited subjects, or the equivalent of at least satisfactory achievement in other Board-recognised courses at Stage 1 or Stage 2.
