ATAR Enquiry Centre UAC is once again operating its ATAR Enquiry Centre for students who have queries about the calculation of their ATAR. • Tuesday 17 December, 12pm–8pm • Wednesday 18 December, 8.30am–4.30pm • Thursday 19 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.

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. ATAT Q&A. What Next? January is just another month in the summer break for current tertiary students, but for recent school leavers it means one thing — university offers. If you’re one of the many students nervously waiting for offer day, check Q&A : https://www.gooduniversitiesguide.com.au/education-blogs/tertiary-study/atar-q-a-what-next 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).
