Early Offer Opportunities for Year 12 Students
While the ATAR remains a key selection tool for university entry, it is not the only pathway into tertiary study. Many universities now offer early entry schemes that recognise a broader range of student achievements and strengths, including academic performance, leadership, community involvement and school recommendations.
These programs provide Year 12 students with the opportunity to receive a conditional university offer before final examinations. This can help reduce end-of-year pressure and give students greater confidence and clarity as they plan their next steps.
The Study Work Grow – Early Entry Guide is a valuable resource outlining the key details for each university’s early entry scheme, including eligibility criteria, benefits and application deadlines (where available), which vary across institutions.

Exploring these options early can help students stay ahead and make informed decisions about their future.
Students are also encouraged to visit the UAC website, which provides comprehensive information on available early offer schemes, key dates, assessment criteria and application processes.

Participating tertiary institutions also hold Early Entry information sessions. These events can be found under the Upcoming Events, Webinar and Course Information section of this newsletter.
