Membership of the College is offered on the basis of merit and potential, after an application and interview process managed by the Warden and Senior Tutor. Successful applicants are high academic achievers who have excellent references and strong extracurricular involvement, and who wish to be part of a highly respected college community. This ensures a healthy blend of academic, sporting and cultural activity in College. 

2012:

Applications are being taken for Semester 2 2012 and interviews taking place shortly.  There is no closing date for applications, however it is recommended that you apply sooner rather than later.  

2013:

If you finished school in 2011 and plan to take a GAP year prior to entering University, you should apply this year for 2013. An interview can be arranged before you leave.

To apply:

• Download the application form and send in the completed form with two (2) passport photos and $165 application fee by cheque if not paying by credit card. Please send original passport photos and not printouts.  Jpgs are also accepted (not pdfs). 
• Applications should be made directly to the College - St Paul's does not share applications with other University of Sydney colleges.
• Two references are required. References must be sent directly to the College by the referee. The academic reference should be from either your headmaster/ school principal or a University lecturer/tutor. The personal reference should be from someone who knows you well - for example, a family friend, coach or boarding-house supervisor. The Warden values references from those who write candidly about what makes you distinctive. .
• References can be emailed to registrar@stpauls.edu.au  if this is more convenient than mailing them. Preferably only one reference should come from the applicant's school.
  Note: St Paul's does not use a generic referee form.
• When all information has been received and processed, we will contact you to arrange a time for your interview with the Warden and/or the Senior Tutor.
  Scanned documents or email attachments are accepted.
