Directions - December 2019

Here’s what you need to know.

When?

View your ATAR online from 1pm on Tuesday 17 December – that’s right, the same day as your HSC results.

Where?

Log in via UAC's website or the My UAC app.

While you're there...Download your ATAR notice. You can log in and access it until 29 February 2020. After that date there will be a charge.

How?

You'll need your Year 12 student number (or UAC application number) and your UAC PIN.

What?

Your ATAR is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 that universities use to help them select students for their courses.

Admission to most tertiary courses is based on your selection rank. Your selection rank is your ATAR plus any applicable adjustments (see below) although many institutions use other measures in conjunction with the ATAR including questionnaires, portfolios, auditions, interviews and tests.
