- Tuesday 17 December, 12pm–8pm
- Wednesday 18 December, 8.30am–4.30pm

- Friday 20 December, 8.30am–4.30pm
ATAR Notices
Students Note: Download and print your ATAR Advice Notices when ATARs are released in December. You only have free access until February; after that you will be charged for a digital or printed copy.
The ATAR is a rank, not a mark.
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 that indicates a student’s position relative to all the students in their age group (ie all 16 to 20 year olds in NSW). So, an ATAR of 80.00 means that you are 20 per cent from the top of your age group (not your Year 12 group).
Universities use the ATAR to help them select students for their courses and admission to most tertiary courses is based on your selection rank (your ATAR + any applicable adjustments). Most universities also use other criteria when selecting students (eg personal statement, questionnaire, portfolio of work, audition, interview or test).

Offer Rounds to Year 12s
The most important offer rounds for Year 12 students are:
- December Round 2 – Monday 23 December 2019
- January Round 1 – Friday 10 January 2020
Not all courses will be offered in December Round 2, and applicants should check UAC’s website for details of excluded courses before they finalise their course preferences.
Students whose results are not available in time for December Round 2 can be assured that they will not be disadvantaged – universities will still have places available to make offers to all courses in January.
So what’s fabrication vs welding?
Metal fabrication and welding are two completely different things, but they go together.
Metal fabrication comprises of several processes and welding is just a part of it.
Unlike welding, metal fabrication is not just about putting two metal pieces together. It is much more than that. If a piece of metal is big in size, it has to be precisely cut to a particular length and shape. When you need a particular sheet to be bent in a specific way, it will not require a welder but a bending machine. Also, this kind of shaping and bending can be done only by an experienced professional. For really intricate designing of metals, laser cutting is used.
