How we’re helping the Year 12 students who need it most

11 Jul 2024

YEAR 12 is a stressful time for most students, and even more so for those also navigating a range of health, personal and other challenges that have affected their education.

UAC (Universities Admissions Centre) is here to help those students through the Educational Access Scheme (EAS).

The scheme gives students the opportunity to have their circumstances taken into account when offers are made.

And the school holiday break is an ideal time for students to begin their EAS application. While it may take students some time to put together the required documents, they can at least get the ball rolling before things become even more hectic.

Once they’ve applied, students can then come back later and provide their documents.

To apply, students must first submit their UAC application.

Last year UAC received more than 26,000 EAS applications, with 8,483 EAS applications received so far this year.
