Your UAC application number and PIN

After you apply, you'll need your UAC application number and PIN to log back in to your application and to view your offers. You can't use an application number from a previous year. If you’re a 2023 NSW HSC applicant, you also need your UAC PIN to access your ATAR.

When you complete the personal details section of your application, you'll be emailed your nine-digit 2022–23 UAC application number and your four-digit PIN. Your application number will also be recorded on your Confirmation of Application.

2023 NSW HSC applicants/ACT Year 12 applicants

Your UAC PIN will be emailed to the address you registered with NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) or the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (ACT BSSS) on the day that applications open.

Keep your UAC PIN in a safe and secure place and don't give it to anyone else. For security reasons, recommend that you log in to your application and change your PIN after you've applied.

If your PIN doesn't seem to be working, check that you are using your UAC PIN and not your NESA PIN.

All other applicants

Your UAC PIN is the first four digits of your date of birth (day and month). For example, if your birthday is 3 October, your UAC PIN is 0310; if your birthday is 17 May, your UAC PIN is 1705.

• Go to the application login page.
• Enter your application number under 'Manage your application'.
• Click the ‘Forgotten your PIN?’ link.
• Follow the prompts to receive an email containing a link to reset your PIN.
