OnTrack is a fourteen-week, on-campus, pre-university course designed to assist people from disadvantaged or disrupted educational backgrounds to enable their entry to university.

The course consists of three modules that develop the generic skills, knowledge and values required for successful university learning. The OnTrack course allows participants the opportunity to experience life on a university campus. Students who require support in English as a Second Language will receive additional tutoring.

Following successful completion of the course, participants may be offered a place in an undergraduate course at Murdoch University and are provided with support to identify potential career paths as part of the course.
