Time is running out for Year 12s to secure an early offer
SCHOOLS Recommendation Scheme (SRS) applications are closing on Friday 11 September through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
SRS gives eligible Year 12 students the opportunity to receive an early offer from participating universities based on more than just their ATAR. Universities can consider a range of factors, including Year 11 results, school recommendations and, in some cases, an Educational Access Scheme (EAS) application.
More than 19,000 students have already applied for SRS through UAC.
Students who apply will then have until 5 November to lock in their course preferences ahead of the SRS offer round on Thursday 12 November.
There’s still time to apply for SRS. Submit your UAC application and then select the ‘Entry schemes’ tab.
