Changed timing for early university offers

In 2024, universities accepted applications from around April, however, no offers were sent out until September. It will be the same this year. You may apply early, but the offer will not be made before September. This means your Semester 1 results in Year 12 are important!

ATAR ranks 10 or more ABOVE the estimated rank

Each year universities estimate the minimum ATAR rank which they think students will need to be offered a place in each course.

When the Tertiary Information Service Centre (TISC) collates the ATAR results, it matches students with places from top ATAR rank down until all places have been filled.
