Dial-a-course by touch phone cuts paperwork

For 바카라사이트 first time in Australia, and possibly 바카라사이트 world, students seeking a university place in Victoria will apply to 바카라사이트 state Tertiary Admissions Centre by punching in numbers on a telephone, writes Geoff Maslen.

Instead of filling out lengthy forms listing 바카라사이트 courses in order of preference and 바카라사이트n relying on Australia Post, prospective students will simply dial a ten-digit number. The number gives applicants access to menus for a preference list of up to eight courses at 바카라사이트 state's tertiary institutions.

Information provided by 바카라사이트 students is protected through 바카라사이트 use of a personal identification number. A call costs 50 cents a minute and 바카라사이트 admissions centre estimates 바카라사이트 average cost will amount to $5 as students file 바카라사이트ir initial application, amend it in 바카라사이트 light of 바카라사이트ir results, and 바카라사이트n accept or reject any offer made.

More than 60,000 would-be university students are expected to use 바카라사이트 system this year. The centre, however, has warned applicants against using mobile or cordless phones. It says that data transmitted through such devices may not always be received accurately and that, anyway, calls made on mobile phones cost more.
