The Diploma of Foundation Studies (DoFS) is an established regional equity and access program with a four‐ year record of enabling students with a low Equivalent National Entry Rank (ENTER) to undertake full‐time tertiary study in a range of disciplinary areas. Preliminary analysis indicates this program has been successful, with three‐quarters of these students subsequently being offered places in Monash University degree programs. Of these students, just under half gained entry into their degree of first choice. The incorporation of a range of teaching and learning initiatives into the program assisted students who would normally be considered academically “ineligible” or “at risk” to successfully negotiate tertiary study. Indications from this program confirm that when students are provided with an appropriately supportive transitional program and environment, retention rates and academic performance can be comparable with those of the mainstream student body
