A three-year ACS-accredited IT degree at Tonsley, City and online. Flinders reported fewer than five ATAR-based offers (<5) for Semester 1, 2026, so no selection rank is published; the guaranteed entry ATAR is 65. No SACE prerequisites or assumed knowledge.
Lowest selection rank
Flinders has not published a lowest selection rank for this course for recent intakes. That usually means too few ATAR-based offers were made to report one, or that selection also uses a portfolio, audition, interview or other criteria.
