How to get your ATAR

2023 ATAR Advice Notice

2023 NSW ATARs will be released at 9am on Thursday 14 December. You'll need your NESA student number and UAC PIN to log in.

2023 NSW HSC students

ATARs are calculated for all ATAR-eligible students.

How to view your ATAR on this website

You can access your ATAR via this website on 14 December 2023. You'll need your Year 12 student number and UAC PIN.

Your Year 12 student number: Your 8-digit student number was issued to you by NESA. If you've lost it, call NESA on 1300 13 83 23.

Your UAC PIN: Your 4-digit UAC PIN will be emailed to you on 5 April. It is different to your HSC PIN. If you lose your UAC PIN, call us on (02) 9752 0200.

When you view your ATAR you’ll see a list of the ATAR courses you studied, their category, and the number of units of each ATAR course that contributed to the calculation of your ATAR.

You'll also be able to download and save your official ATAR Advice Notice.

If you receive an ATAR between 0.00 and 30.00, your ATAR will be recorded as ‘30 or less’. If you haven’t met the requirements of the ATAR, your ATAR will be recorded as ‘not eligible’.

How to claim your ATAR digital credential in CredFolio

CredFolio is a free digital wallet in which you can receive your ATAR as a digital credential. This means you will always have immediate access to your ATAR, wherever you are and whenever you need it.

With the CredFolio digital wallet, you can also safely store and access other digital credentials issued to you there, create personalised portfolios and share your achievements: all in one place and on your terms.

Follow these instructions to set up your CredFolio digital wallet and claim your ATAR:

  1. A couple of days before ATARs are released, CredFolio will send you an email inviting you to register. It will include a link to set up your account and a unique registration code. Follow the instructions to register. If you're a UAC applicant, the email will be sent to the address you enter in your application. If you're not a UAC applicant, the email will be sent to the address you registered with NESA.
  2. Once you're registered, you’ll be able to access your account through the CredFolio phone app (available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store). If you prefer, you can keep using the web app.
  3. On 14 December (ATAR release day) you will be sent an email confirming that UAC has issued your ATAR to your CredFolio wallet. Open the web or phone app and view your new credential.
