Previous University Study
Applicants who have started university but have not completed a bachelor's degree may still apply as undergraduate applicants. Bond uses different assessment methods depending on how much full-time-equivalent tertiary study has been completed.
| Study Completed | Academic Assessment |
|---|---|
| Less than 1 year FTE | Year 12 results |

| 1.5 years FTE or more | GPA from incomplete undergraduate study |
Unless Bond states otherwise, qualifications used for academic assessment generally need to have been undertaken within the nine years immediately preceding the application closing date.
