Your UAC application number and PIN

After you apply, you'll need to quote your UAC application number whenever you contact UAC.

When you complete the personal details section of your application, you'll be emailed your nine-digit 2024–25 UAC application number. Your application number will also be recorded on your Confirmation of Application.

If you're a current Year 12 student, you need to enter your Year 12 student number and a PIN to start your application. We need your student ID details to match your end-of-year results to your application. We also need them if you want to apply for the Schools Recommendation Scheme.

2024 NSW HSC applicants/ACT Year 12 applicants

Your UAC PIN was emailed to the address you registered with NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) or the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (ACT BSSS) on 3 April 2024 (the day applications opened).

Keep your UAC PIN in a safe and secure place and don't give it to anyone else.

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