Abstract
This study explores the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its consequences on the Australian higher education sector, with regard to growing domestic student enrolments, particularly those of equity cohorts. Taking a mixed-methods approach blending a broad national view and focusing in-depth on four case study universities, this study will examine how universities responded to the potential increase in uptake of Commonwealth Supported Places, with a specific focus on whether institutions shifted their admissions requirements, pathways into undergraduate studies, and strategies to increase access for low socioeconomic status (SES) students into higher education.
