Schools Recommendation Scheme

Schools Recommendation Scheme

SRS offers in a nutshell

  • First SRS offers were made on Friday 10 November.
  • Institutions have the option to make further unconditional offers in November Round 2 and December Round 1. You can receive only one unconditional offer in each offer round.
  • If you receive an unconditional offer, accept it. If you want to receive another offer in subsequent rounds, move the course you have accepted to the bottom of your list or remove it entirely.
  • If you received a conditional offer on 10 November, you still need to:
    • meet the criteria set out in the offer
    • meet all other institution requirements for that course
    • include the course in your list of preferences by 11.59pm on Friday 15 December. Make sure the course that you would most like to do is at the top of your list.

IB and interstate applicants: Still need to upload your Year 11 results? Please upload them against your Year 12 qualification in your UAC application. We require your semester 1 and 2 overall subject results. If you need a results template to share with your school, contact UAC Customer Service.

The Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) is one way institutions make early offers of undergraduate admission to Year 12 students. They do this by using criteria other than (or in addition to) the ATAR.

Who can apply?

To apply for SRS you must be a Year 12 applicant who is attempting one of the following:

  • an Australian Year 12 qualification in 2023
  • an International Baccalaureate in Australia in 2023.

You must also be:

  • a UAC applicant for undergraduate admission in 2024
  • an Australian or New Zealand citizen, a permanent resident of Australia or the holder of an Australian permanent resident humanitarian visa.

Institution criteria

Participating institutions may use one or more of the following criteria listed when considering your application:

  • your Year 11 studies (IB and interstate students will need to upload a PDF of their Year 11 school report)
  • your school’s rating of your aptitudes
  • your Educational Access Schemes (EAS) application (if applicable).

Institutions will then make offers based:

  • solely on SRS criteria
  • on both SRS criteria and ATAR/selection rank
  • on SRS criteria and ATAR and equity criteria.

Each institution has its own policy for determining SRS eligibility and making offers. For example, you may also have to submit an EAS application institution-defined dates, or attend a school in a particular region.

SRS is not available for all courses. The institution-specific SRS criteria detail any exceptions.
