Finished your HSC? There’s still time to apply for uni

05 Nov 2026

AS Year 12 students across NSW finish their written HSC exams and put their pens down, the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) congratulates them on reaching this important milestone.

With exams behind them, students can start considering their options and planning their next move. For those thinking about university, there’s still time to take an important step towards making that a reality.

Whether students have already applied directly to a university, are waiting to see their ATAR before deciding what to do next, or are considering a gap year, there are still pathways available to achieve their higher education goals.

Students who want to be considered in the main Year 12 offer round should submit their application through UAC by Thursday 26 November.

Applicants will have until Friday 18 December to review and finalise their course preferences, ahead of offers being released on Wednesday 23 December.
