Hey peeps

I'm applying for a university degree as a non-year 12 and I have to fill out a section just wondering what use did on this section below.
The question concerning Education History – Post-Secondary Studies section on the online application. It mentions:

"Now we need to collect information your secondary studies, we need to collect information about any tertiary studies you may be doing or have. You should enter all DEFERRED, ATTEMPTED, CURRENT and completed tertiary studies starting on the next page. If you DO NOT claim all studies any forthcoming offers may be withdrawn."

I have previously been enrolled in other Tertiary courses with shocking results several years back I don't feel comfortable to include my previous courses which require my results posted aswell, I had shocking results as I didn't enjoy the courses. My current course is going extremely well with great grades I have claimed that and will post my results to them. I just think the institute I'm applying to will judge me on my previous courses aswell which I did poorly and wont have the same rights/chances as a non-Post-Secondary-Studies applicant. Should i post my previous poor studies ? Not sure exactly what to do don't want to ruin my application either.

Cheers

It's best to claim and send in ALL of your education history.  VTAC knows this and your most recent results will most definitely be weighted more heavily.  So you're excellent results recently will definitely be weighted more heavily that your shocking results several years back.  Whilst the shocking results will still be looked at, I'm sure they'll see it as history and judge you on your recent results.
