Ad eundem statum means "with equivalent status". Some universities use this term instead of ad eundem statum. The abbreviation AES is sometimes used.
Domestic students who received their schooling in another country may be eligible for this admission on the basis of their school-leaving qualification. As requirements vary such students should seek advice from the university they wish to attend.
This form of admission is also used for students who have studied in New Zealand and gained a university entrance equivalent such as the CIE examinations or International Baccalaureate.
Universities sometimes charge a fee for this form of admission to cover administrative costs.
