The University of Adelaide College is an ideal choice for the following:
- students seeking an alternative entry pathway to a bachelor degree at the University of Adelaide (degree transfer program) as a result of not achieving the required grade

Students may access the Foundation Studies program upon completing Year 11 or equivalent, the course is designed to provide the core subject knowledge, vital study skills and the academic and pastoral support required to thoroughly prepare students for a seamless transition into the first year of undergraduate studies at the University of Adelaide.
The Foundation Studies program takes 8–10 months to complete, with intakes in February, July and October.
For students whose qualifications are just below the minimum academic requirements for admission into their chosen program, the College offers a Degree Transfer program that enables entry into the second year of some University of Adelaide undergraduate programs.
Degree Transfer delivers the first-year syllabus and assessment of selected bachelor degree programs at the University of Adelaide. The program includes additional learning support, especially for English language and difficult concepts in subjects such as mathematics.
Upon completion of the program, students are offered direct entry into the second year of university with full credit for first-year subjects successfully completed in the undergraduate program (provided adequate scores are achieved).
Flexibility is provided through several intakes throughout the year and course entry points.
