UAC - Main Round offers
Undergraduate Main Round offers are
nearly here
Main Round offers will be released at 6pm on Wednesday 20
January at www.uac.edu.auand on the My UAC mobile app. Please make
sure you have updated to the latest version of My UAC.
Checking your offer
Our UAC homepage and mobile app will have clear access points for
checking if you've received an offer. You'll need your UAC PIN and UAC
application number to log in.
Forgotten any of your details? Check our instructions on retrieving your
application number and PIN.
Cut-offs
We'll be publishing the cut-off for entry into each course on our website. The
cut-off for a course shows you the minimum selection rank needed by the
majority of Year 12 applicants.
Bonus points & entry to courses with an ATAR below
the cut-off
In some circumstances, an institution may allocate bonus points to a Year 12
applicant; for example, in recognition of the applicant's performance in a
relevant HSC subject, because the applicant lives or attended school in an
area defined by the institution, or as part of an Educational Access Scheme.
If you are allocated bonus points you may receive an offer to a course even
though your ATAR is below the cut-off published on our website.
Find out more about institution bonus points schemes by visiting our bonus
points pages.
Accepting your offer
If you get an offer, there will be links to information about how and when to
accept it. In most cases you'll have to accept online. Make sure you accept by
the deadline or your offer will lapse.
Accept my offer or wait for the next round?
We recommend that you accept your offer; if you don't, you might lose your
chance to study at university this year.
You may not receive an offer in later rounds and if you don’t accept by the
specified date, the offer will lapse and your position at university will be offered
to someone else.
Accepting your offer doesn't stop you from being considered in a later round.
Just make sure that the course you really want to study is listed as your first
preference.
More offer rounds coming up
After the Main Round, institutions will make more offers in February Round 1
at 6pm onTuesday 2 February, but only to courses that still have vacancies.
A list of these vacancies will be published on UAC's website with the course
cut-offs.
There will be progressively smaller offer rounds in February for courses that
start in the first half of the year. Offer rounds for courses starting in the second
half of 2016 will then continue until July. Read our offers page for more
information about UAC's offer rounds.
Changing your preferences for later
rounds
In later offer rounds you will be considered for any of the preferences you
have listed higher than the course for which you've already received an offer
in the Main Round.
If you want to be considered for lower preferences than the course you have
been offered in the Main Round, you must remove the offered course from
your preferences using Check & Change.
If you receive an offer in a later round, you can either accept this offer and
withdraw from your Main Round offer, or keep your Main Round offer and not
accept the later offer.
Some institutions may not be able to consider changes of preference or new
applications submitted after the Main Round, particularly for courses that use
additional selection criteria. Check the course descriptions in the course
search before you apply or change preferences
Still time to apply for semester 1 courses
Although you won't be able to receive a Main Round offer, you can still apply
for undergraduate study in 2016. But remember that only very limited
places will be available for courses starting in semester 1 after Main Round
offers are released. Check the UAC undergraduate website after the Main
Round for details of courses with vacancies.
Some applicants need to provide documents relating to their previous study –
normally not Year 12 applicants. Make sure you can get hold of these
documents easily as there won't be much time for semester 1 offer rounds if
you apply now. Read more about the information you'll need to apply.
