Welcome to Papua New Guinea’s National Online Application System (NOAS)

The National Online Application System (NOAS) facilitates the application process for both school leavers and non-school leavers seeking admission to tertiary education institutions. This year, NOAS will be rolled out for the first time for non-school leavers.

Grade 12 School Leavers and Non School Leavers

Grade 12 students and non-school leavers intending to pursue further studies can apply through NOAS starting on the 26th of August 2024. Please contact your secondary schools, FODE Centres, or University Matriculation Centres to obtain your invitation letter, which contains the necessary credentials for logging in and applying. Former NOAS users who were not selected and wish to apply as Non School Leavers, may use their previous credentials. For detailed information about institutional programs and their requirements, students are advised to refer to the "My Eligible Programs" section in their NOAS accounts.

Secondary School Principals, FODE Coordinators and University Matriculation Centre Coordinators

Principals and Coordinators can now submit the necessary school information to support their students’ applications. The NOAS Portal will open on 16th August 2024, enabling secondary schools, Centres of Excellence, FODE Centres, and University Matriculation Centres to issue invitation letters to students and monitor their application progress.

Important Announcements

  • DAT and CES entries: The entries will commence in September, 2024.
  • Update to NOAS: This year, there is a significant update to the National Online Application System. Principals and Coordinators at the Centre for Distance Education (CDEs) are required to identify students with special needs. This initiative will support the implementation of the Gender, Equity, and Special Needs Scholarships Category under the revised TESAS Policy.
