    Note: Some courses have early closing dates. This means you must list the course as a preference by the course closing date.

    If you receive an offer in any round you can change your preferences for the next offer round up until the closing date.

    For example: If you receive an offer in the Early January Round, you can change your preferences for the Main Round until Thursday 5 January 2012.

    If you receive an offer in the Main Round, you can change your preferences for the Late Round until Wednesday 25 January 2012.

  • Does the order of my course preferences matter?

    Yes, put the course preferences in the order you'd most like them to be considered. Put the course you'd most like to do first, then the course you'd next prefer to do, and so on. This is because during the selection process, your course preferences are considered one at a time in the order in which you've them listed on your application.

    If you're not selected for your first course preference you'll be considered equally with all other eligible applicants for your second course preference and so on.

  • Can someone change course preferences on my behalf?

    Yes, but you must provide UAC with written authority for someone to act on your behalf.

    If you didn't already do this when you applied, write to UAC and include your UAC application number, name and signature and the signature of the person you're authorising to act on your behalf.

    Address postal correspondence to:

    UAC
    Locked Bag 112
    Silverwater NSW 2128
    Australia

  • When are offers released and how do I accept my offer?

    Read the offers FAQs.

  • Do I need to change my course preferences between offer rounds?

    No, not unless you've changed your mind about what you want to study. If you receive an offer to your first course preference in one offer round you won't be considered for your lower course preferences in subsequent offer rounds unless you change your course preference.
