Domestic students interested in enrolling in the Australian Agricultural College Corporation should start the application process by completing the expression of interest form and faxing it to their preferred campus. After receiving the form, a college staff member will be in touch to discuss the expression of interest. Individuals interested in full-time courses will be required to attend an interview, and the staff member will arrange a suitable interview time. The interview will be conducted at an agreed time and date (this may be arranged to be conducted in person or over the phone). Applicants will be advised of the outcome of the interview process. Successful applicants will be sent an enrolment pack outlining all necessary information for the nominated course of study.
