Year 12: December offers to be released at 2pm, Tuesday 23 December

Following the successful release of ATAR and VCE results last week, we are writing to advise you of a change to the timing of the December offer round.

The release of course offers, which was originally scheduled for 10:00am on 23 December, will now occur at 2:00pm on 23 December.

This change is due to additional processing and validation required to ensure every student’s information has been accurately captured and applied. Taking this additional time is essential to maintaining the integrity of the offer process.
