ADMISSIONS 2018-19
UAC is gearing up for the opening of the 2018–19 admissions period in August.
Applications for undergraduate study will open on Wednesday 1 August. Encourage your Year 12 students to apply before early bird applications close at midnight on Friday 28 September to avoid a jump in the application charge, even if they’re not sure of what course they want to study.
Here are the key dates for your diary.
