Important information about application dates and offer rounds

Important dates for Distance, Early and Preliminary rounds Important dates for Main, Late and Final rounds Applications after Friday 12 December 2008

At UAC, we have to allow time to process your application after we receive it. The time required for processing varies depending on the type of application and how accurate and complete your application is when submitted. For example, current Year 12 applications will take less time to process than applications from people who have undertaken a number of studies and qualifications.

The following table shows that your application may not be considered in specific offer rounds if it is received by UAC after the dates indicated. Also keep in mind that the closing dates for some courses, particularly those with additional selection criteria, are earlier than the UAC closing dates. Don't waste your application - read the information below and check institution entries and course search before you submit an application.
