    Hi,

    I have applied for a few courses through the CAO. I was looking at this the other day and applied for two of the courses. it says that mature applicants should apply to their appropriate HEI before applying. So basically I want to know if I am a mature applicant? I am only 20 and I have previously done 1 year of college but I dropped out.

    Regards,
    Darren

    Hi Darren,

    I don't think you'll be considered as a mature student:

    "Generally,you are considered to be a mature student if you are at least 23 years of age on January 1 of the year you enter your course. If you are interested in a particular college you should check how it defines a mature student."
