STEP ONE — GATHER DOCUMENTATION

There’s quite a few things you need to gather before you can start submitting an application namely, a Pastoral Reference, a Personal Reference, write a Statement of Purpose, get sufficient Identification Documents, a Unique Student Identifier (USI) and a Tax File Number (TFN). Heads up, it can take up to 28 days to get your TFN if you don’t already have one, so get on that asap.

  • Please send the following link to your Pastor for them to complete: Pastoral Reference.

  • Please send the following link to a friend or family member that is aware of your desire to study and can speak to the suitability of the course for where you’re at in life at present: Personal Reference.

  • This is required to apply to study at any Higher Education provider in Australia. If you are unsure if you have one, don’t have the number recorded somewhere or need to apply for one, please use the link below to do all the above: confirm or apply for a USI. 

  • If you already have one, you can skip this step. You will need a Tax File Number to apply for FEE-Help if you are an Australian Citizen. If you don’t have one, it can take up to 28 days for your TFN application to be approved so please apply as quickly as possible for this one: apply for a TFN.

  • Alphacrucis require a scanned copy the following (NB: for domestic students these no longer need to be certified by a JP):

    • ID: Passport OR Birth Certificate.

    • STUDY: Previous Tertiary Study Transcripts OR QCE Certificate, OR a Resume.

STEP TWO — APPLY TO ALPHACRUCIS

Please follow the guide below. If you have any questions or issues please reach out to Ps Ben Stuart, our College Principal: ben.stuart@hopecentre.com

    *eCAF is an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) that is required to be completed in order to access Australia’s Higher Education Loan Program (HELP).

 STEP THREE — HOPE ACADEMY APPLICATION

Well done, you’ve done majority of the hard work by the time you’re at this step. If you’ve completed step one and two above, please let us know by filling out our Hope Academy Application Form.

 STEP FOUR — BOOK AN INTERVIEW

Your final step is to schedule an interview with the Hope Academy Team (Principal and Student Coordinator). To book an interview please Click Here.

NB if it says the link is invalid at first, just hit refresh, sometimes it’s a little bug in the system. Once it loads, hit “continue as guest” as sometimes Microsoft recognizes you have a hotmail account with them or something and asks you to log in, which you do not need to do.

There's no need to prepare anything; we simply want to get to know you better and see if Hope Academy is the right fit for your current stage of life and faith journey. The interview will take approximately 45 minutes and will be held at Hope Academy, located at 2/31 Thompson St, Bowen Hills (right next to Hope Centre Brisbane), unless otherwise discussed. You can park in the front – look for the childcare centre for the complex entrance. 

We look forward to meeting with you!
