ATARS RELEASED SAME DAY AS HSC

ATARs this year will be released at 1pm on Tuesday 17 December – the same day as HSC results.

Students will have all the information they need on the day to make their future study decisions and have more time to finalise their preferences for December Round 2.

The deadline for finalising December Round 2 offer round preferences is midnight on Thursday 19 December 2019. This is the first major offer roundfor Year 12 students.

ALL 2020 COURSES ONLINE IN AUGUST
All 2020 courses from UAC’s participating institutions will be available on UAC’s website from Friday 2 August.

For students who have already applied, remind them to log in to their application to review and update their preferences.

For students who haven’t yet applied, now is the perfect time. Also let them know that the Early bird application period ends at midnight on Monday 30 September, at which time the processing fee increases, so even if they’re not sure, apply now so they can keep their options open and their budget sweet.

UAC PIN REMINDER EMAILS COMING SOON

An email will be sent to Year 12 students on Friday 2 August to let them know that all courses are now online and to remind them of their UAC PIN.

Let students know that PINs will be emailed to the address they have registered with NESA, so they need to ensure this is a current email address. If they have already applied, their PIN reminder will be sent to the email address they used when they submitted their application.

To start their UAC application students will need their Year 12 student number (issued through their school) and their UAC PIN.

Once they have applied they can use their UAC Application Number (generated once they put in their personal details) and UAC PIN to login and manage their application.

If students don’t have their UAC PIN email, or are having problems with their PIN, they can read the FAQ or contact UAC directly.

WHY APPLY THROUGH UAC?
Applying through UAC allows students to apply for courses across 27 institutions. Some of those institutions also offer direct applications just for their own courses. Based on feedback we’ve received from schools, we know that students are unsure about whether they should apply direct to the institution or through UAC, and to increase their chances many are doing both. It’s important for students considering a direct application to remember the following:

not all institutions accept direct applications from Year 12 students
having a UAC application also allows you to apply for EAS, SRS and Equity Scholarships
having a UAC application as well as a direct application will give you more chance of securing an offer, so long as you don’t enter the same preferences in both applications.
