What ATAR do I need for entry? Do you have Commonwealth Supported Positions? (CSP)

The ATAR requirements for Commonwealth-Supported places (CSP) at ICMS has historically been between 75 to 85 depending on the number of applicants, the quality of those applicants and the number of CSP positions that we are able to give out.

Are HECS places available?

HECS places are available in the February intake only by applying through UAC.
 

What is FEE-Help?

FEE-Help is a loan given by the Australian government for tuition fees at ICMS.  Every Australian citizen is eligible and all you need to do is fill out a FEE-Help form during orientation week and you will be granted a FEE-Help loan. FEE-Help loans are available for students studying for the Pathway position
 

What is a Pathway Position?

Students who do not meet the ATAR requirements have the option to enroll at ICMS through the Pathway program which involves admission into the two year Associate Degree, ICMS degree or one year Diploma. Entry is based on individual HSC subject results (around 60 to 70 in each subject) or other qualifications, not UAI. Upon successful completion of the 2 year Associate Degree, you can then continue on to the 3rd year to complete the BBA or take the option of completing an ICMS specialist degree. To apply for a pathway place you need to go directly to our website at www.icms.edu.au this option is available for our February, May and September intakes. To ensure they get a place, we encourage students to apply for both a CSP place through UAC and a pathway place.

Do you have to live on campus?

No. Many students opt to secure their own housing in Manly or the surrounding suburbs. Manly is a safe community with a close-knit student population. However, it is believed that your experience at ICMS is better if you live on-campus, at least at the beginning of your studies. There are many great benefits which if you do not live on-campus you will miss out on.
 

Do we offer Advanced Standing at ICMS (credit for previous study)

ICMS has expansive grounds for various sporting activities including tennis, football, and basketbaland basketball. There is also a pool talbel and ping pong table in the student common l. Domesticroom. Domestic students can also purchase a discounted gym membership for $50 to use the New Image Gym in Manly. There are other fitness activities which are arranged like the swim club, zumba and yoga.
 

How do I apply for FEE-help?

FEE-Help is available to all Australian pathway students for the Associate Degree of Business and ICMS degree’s. There will be a FEE-Help seminar during O-Week where you will be given information on how to apply. Students should note that a Tax File Number (TFN) is required to get a FEE-Help loan. If you don’t have a TFN you must apply for a number prior to applying for FEE-Help.
