UOW Early Admission Open Now!
UOW Early Admission is our early entry offer program for students completing Year 12 (Higher School Certificate or other Australian equivalents) during 2024. When students apply for Early Admission, UOW considers their unique skills and experiences, alongside Year 11 results, so they can earn an offer to uni before they sit their first exam!
For students sitting the HSC in 2024, their results will automatically populate into the Early Admission system when they apply. For students sitting interstate equivalents (VCE, QCE etc) or IB, they will need to manually upload their results.
More information about Early Admission can be found on our website, please send us an email or give us a call on 02 4239 4700 if you have questions!
Ace Your Application Webinar
This webinar is a great chance for students, parents or Careers Advisers to have all of their Early Admission questions answered by our experts.
During this session, our hosts will guide you through the following:
· Key dates and timelines
· Application process
· Answering the four short questions
· Scholarships
· Offers
Questions will also be answered during the live Q&A.
As in previous years, students can apply for two degrees at UOW, and will be required to answer four questions about their unique skills and attributes which allow UOW faculty staff to assess them on UOW’s Key indicators of success: Academic Readiness, Motivation & Passion, Planning & Persistence, and Communication & Collaboration.
These questions are:
· What are your study strategies when preparing for an important assessment task?
· What has influenced your decision to pursue your course or courses of interest?
· Describe a time when you worked with others to achieve a goal.
· Tell us about a time when you set yourself a goal and worked really hard to achieve a good result.
Students will no longer be required to attend an interview or compulsory online offer activation session. However, we do encourage students to attend the UOW Open Days to get all their course questions answered to assist with their decisions.
As in previous years, those students that have experienced hardship or disadvantage in their schooling, if comfortable, will be able to provide information regarding this to be taken into consideration by UOW assessors.
*Students must successfully complete their HSC/IB, and performance be on par with performance to date.
We're Here to Help!

Questions?
If you have any questions or need help, contact us directly or contact our Future Students team.
This month we explain when Year 12 students can expect to receive offers to university – and why. If you have any questions, you're more than welcome to ask us in person at an upcoming careers expo (details below). It would be great to meet you!
Year 12 students are generally selected for a place at university based on their Year 12 results.
NSW and ACT ATARs will be released on 18 December 2024. Therefore, the most important offer round for Year 12 students will be December Round 2 on 23 December 2024. However, some institutions will wait until January Round 1 (9 January 2025) or January Round 2 (23 January 2025) to make offers to a small number of highly competitive courses (eg medical degrees).
IB results will be released 17 December 2024, so IB students will also be able to receive offers in December Round 2.
Offer rounds and the selection process
Some institutions will make offers to some courses based on Year 11 results and other non-ATAR selection criteria. The first offers unis will make to Year 12 students via UAC will be through the Schools Recommendation Scheme on 8 November 2024. Some institutions will start making offers through their own schemes from September.
All early offers are conditional on students completing their Year 12 studies. Some institutions will specify other conditions, such as achieving a minimum ATAR.

There are two main ways to apply for university courses: directly to each university under one of their early admission schemes and/or through the Universities Admission Centre (UAC). Below is a newsletter that details important information on how and when to apply through UAC. Applications are now open but don't close until 16 September. Information for some courses will not be available until early August, so if you make your application earlier than that it would be wise to go back onto the UAC website and check over your course selection again. You can change your preferences free of charge if you change your mind up until the closong date for each round of offers.
UAC applications for study at uni in 2025 are now open for domestic students. International students can apply from 17 April.
Details of hundreds of semester 1, 2025 courses offered by UAC’s participating institutions are available on our website. More will be added over the next few months. Students who apply now should log back in to their application in around August to take another look at the courses being offered and review their course preferences.
This year, students need the following details to start their UAC application:
Personal email address: For security reasons, when students start their application they will need to register with a personal email address and a password. They'll then be sent an email to validate their details. Once they've done that, they will use their email address and password to log in to their application.
Year 12 student number and UAC PIN: We emailed UAC PINs to NSW and ACT students yesterday using the email addresses NESA and ACT BSSS have on file. If any students didn't receive this email, please ask them to call UAC. Also remind them to register a personal email address in their NESA Students Online account.
Students need to enter their Year 12 student number and UAC PIN early in the application. These details identify them as a 2024 Year 12 student, which means they'll be able to apply for an early offer through the Schools Recommendation Scheme.
Unique Student Identifier (USI): At the request of institutions, this is now a mandatory field for domestic applicants who are Australian citizens. Students can quickly and easily create their USI or check if they already have one.
How to apply for uni through UAC
This year, the Schools Recommendation Scheme application is integrated into the undergraduate application; it is no longer a standalone application.
Once students have submitted their undergraduate application a link to the SRS application will appear. It will only take them a minute or so to complete.
As only current Year 12 students can apply for SRS, it's important that they enter their Year 12 student number and UAC PIN in the undergraduate application. If they don't, they won't have access to the SRS application.
Institutions are still sending through details of their 2025 courses and admission processes. We're updating our website as information is provided. Bookmark the following high-traffic pages!
