University of Sydney – Fixed ATAR System
The fixed ATAR is the minimum ATAR needed to guarantee entry into a chosen course. If a student achieves this required ATAR and places Sydney as their first preference they will be made an offer through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
The required ATAR thresholds will not change throughout the preference and admissions period for 2018 entry, which includes the December, January and February UAC rounds.

UAC Applications
The Year 12 students will receive their own copy of the UAC Guide. The first closing date for applications is 29th September. It is not first-come-first-serve, so there is plenty of time to apply.
UAC Schools Recommendation Schemes (SRS)
Schools Recommendation Schemes (SRS) are one way institutions make early offers of undergraduate admission, using criteria other than (or in addition to) the ATAR.
Participating institutions can use a range of criteria when making SRS offers, including your Year 11 studies, school's rating of your abilities in areas of study and aptitudes, and your Educational Access Schemes (EAS) application (if applicable).
SRS Applications close Friday 29 September.
