The South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC) is the central office that receives and processes applications for admission to most undergraduate degree courses at participating institutions in the Northern territory (NT) and South Australia. SATAC assesses each application and ranks eligible applicants in order of merit for each course according to the rules and guidelines provided by each tertiary provider. The role of SATAC is not to determine who will receive offers but to simply co-ordinate the process, and post notification of offers on behalf of tertiary institutions.

The SATAC Course Guide
Every year SATAC produces a course guide that sets out the range of Bachelor degrees, Associate degrees, Diplomas and Advanced Diploma courses that are available at university in SA and NT. This guide sets out the minimum entry requirements for each course including alternate entry pathways. The SATAC guide also produces a sister publication that outlines the range of courses available at TAFESA including entry pathways and other important information. Both of these publications can be purchased from SATAC or from a range of outlets across the NT and SA including news agencies and bookstores. Information from these guides can also be accessed via the SATAC website.
