Year 12 enrolments

Did you know that your school has provided your Year 12 enrolments to the Authority?

You now have an opportunity to check to ensure that the information provided is correct. How do you check the information and when do you need to do this by?

Checking course enrolments

Year 12 students are able to check on their enrolments in courses by accessing the student portal at/via https://studentportal.scsa.wa.edu.au.

The Authority will be collecting enrolments in VET and endorsed programs later in the year. As such, if you are studying these programs, they will not be listed at this stage.

What do I need to access the student portal?

To access the student portal, you need to have your WA student number (WASN) – which you can find out through your school. When you visit the portal for the first time you will be prompted to change your password. You will need to use your password each time you want to access the portal.

You will need to visit the portal throughout the year to download various items (e.g. a copy of your Personalised written examination timetable) and to view your results. The Authority will keep you posted via Facebook and our website, so you know when details become available. A complete list of what you will be able to download can be found in the Year 12 Information Handbook 2019, Part I: Information for all students available on the Authority website at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/year-12-information.

Completing the Student Declaration and Permission

When you log in to the student portal you will be required to complete the Student Declaration and Permission before you can gain access to your enrolment information.

What is the purpose of completing the online Student Declaration and Permission?

The purpose of this online Student Declaration and Permission is to ensure students are aware of the requirements:

  • to achieve the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)
  • for sitting the ATAR course examinations.

It also enables students to give permission for the:

  • release of certain personal information should they receive an award
  • use of school work for creating support materials and
  • use of examination responses (written and practical).

What do I do if the information in the student portal is incorrect?

The student portal is a space for Year 12 students to check and access personal information that relates to their WACE.

If any of your information, including your personal details or enrolments is incorrect, then you must let your school know so that they can update your information.

When do I need to have checked my course enrolments?

The last date for changes to enrolments for ATAR, General, Foundation, Preliminary and VET industry specific courses for Year 12 students is Thursday, 4 April 2019. This being the case, it is strongly recommended that you let your school know of any errors as soon as possible so that they may inform the Authority in time before the last date. After Thursday, 4 April 2019, the Authority’s data base will be locked and no further changes (except withdrawals) will be accepted in the above courses.

Can I withdraw from courses after the last enrolment date?

While, you are unable to enrol into a ‘new’ course after 4 April, 2019, you can still withdraw from courses by the dates below.

Year 12 students are able to withdraw from ATAR courses (Units 3 and 4) with practical examination components until Friday, 26 July 2019. In the case of ATAR courses (Units 3 and 4) which do not have practical examination components, ATAR (Units 1 and 2), General, Foundation, Preliminary the last date for withdrawing is Thursday, 15 August 2019.

Any changes to your current program of study must be discussed with your parents/guardian and school before a final decision is made to alter your program.

Consequences of withdrawing from courses

Withdrawing from units may mean you don’t complete enough units this year and may not meet the requirements to achieve a WACE. The WACE requirements are set out in the Year 12 Information Handbook 2019, Part I: Information for all students.

Am I on track to receive the WACE?

Once you are satisfied that your enrolment with the Authority is correct, you should use the WACE Checker to see how you are progressing towards meeting the requirements of the WACE.

What is the WACE Checker?

The WACE Checker is a tool which Year 12 students can use to check on their progress towards meeting the requirements of the WACE. It is designed to determine whether you have met (or are expected to meet) each of the requirements for the WACE. You can then choose to save and/or download and print the report. You can save the data entered into the checker for a month. When you select save you get an access code that will to allow you to use the ‘Fetch My Data’ button in the Checker. You can also save the summary of your input as a PDF and use this to track your progress and to check the impact of any changes to your enrolments.

Support of the WACE Checker

The ‘Tell me more’ button provides support when using the Checker.
