Common Terminology Proposal: UAC response

01 Sep 2017

UAC is very supportive of the sector-led Admissions Transparency Implementation Plan and welcomes the development of the Common Terminology Proposal.

However, serious concerns must be raised regarding some of the proposed common terms.

Our concerns are specifically around the terms 'At school offer scheme/At school offer' and 'ATAR-related adjustments or adjustment factors'. In these cases we would argue strongly in favour of the retention of 'Early offer scheme' and 'Bonus points' respectively.
