Steps to completing your application

1. Enter your personal details (including a personal email address). The name on your application must match the name on your official ID, otherwise you’ll have problems when you enrol.
2. Enter your Year 12 student number and UAC PIN.
3. Provide details of your studies and qualifications (including completed secondary studies and complete or incomplete certificate, diploma and degree studies).
4. Select up to six course preferences.
5. Accept the applicant declaration.
6. Pay for your application with a credit card (Mastercard or Visa) or PayPal account. 2017 Year 12 students can also pay using BPAY or Post Billpay (in Australia only). 

After you apply, check your email regularly for updates on your application. 

Once you've applied, you can change the order of your preferences – or even the courses you’ve selected – as often as you like before the closing dates for each offer round. (Some courses have early application closing dates so check for these as well.) Simply log in to your application using your UAC application number and UAC PIN. You can't change your preferences by phone, letter or email.

Offers are released here at 7.30am on each offer round date. Click 'Check your offers' and log in with your UAC application number and UAC PIN.

We'll also send you an alert email instructing you to log in to your application and check your correspondence, so it is important that we have your correct email address. This can be updated at any time via your application. You should view this correspondence as it may include additional information relating to your offer.

You can receive one offer per institution in each offer round.

For example, if you list six courses, all for Western Sydney University, in your application, you'll only receive one offer – from Western Sydney University – to the highest course listed for which you are eligible and competitive enough.

If you list six courses, three for Macquarie University and three for the University of Newcastle, you'll receive two offers – one to the highest course listed at Macquarie University for which you are eligible and competitive enough, and one to the highest course listed at the University of Newcastle for which you are eligible and competitive enough.

To be offered a place in a course you must:

• be eligible to be considered by meeting the academic requirements of the institution and the specific entrance requirements of the course
• compete against other eligible applicants.
