UAC releases early offers for Year 12 students
THE Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) has today released more than 16,400 offers including 12,640 unconditional offers to Year 12 students through the Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS). UAC received a record 28,530 SRS applications this year.
SRS offers are made using criteria other than the ATAR, such as a student’s Year 11 results and school ratings, giving students an opportunity to secure a university place before their final marks are released.
Kim Paino, Chief Strategy and Engagement Officer, said receiving an early offer provides students with a head start in planning their next steps.
‘These offers are welcome news for students who have finished their exams but who now won’t have to wait for their final results to take the next step towards higher education,’ Ms Paino said.
Students will receive their ATARs at 9am on Wednesday 16 December and can change their course preferences until 11.59pm Friday 18 December to be considered in the major offer round for Year 12 students on Wednesday 23 December.
