University early entry schemes closing dates are in September

Closing dates for early entry schemes are approaching for students who want to receive offers that are not depending on their ATAR. These include the Direct Entry from University of New England (15th September), UAC’s School Recommendation Scheme (18th September) and Southern Cross Universitys' Early Offer scheme (30th September).

UAC applications early bird applications close 29th September

This is the term when UAC applications need to be made to avoid the increased application cost after September 29.

It is highly recommended that students make an appointment to have a chat with Mrs Barrett about their university applications to make sure they are enhancing their opportunities for being successful in receiving offers and not missing out on certain schemes that are available. It would be best to do this after they complete their Trial HSC exams and before the end of Week 9.
