School Recommendation Scheme (SRS): close 11.59pm on Monday, 16 September 2024. 

Other criteria being:

  • your Year 11 results
  • your school's rating of your aptitudes and 
  • EAS (if applicable)

Institutions then make offers based on only SRS, SRS & ATAR/selection rank OR SRS, ATAR and Equity Criteria.

You don’t need to nominate any courses in your SRS application because it is automatically linked to your course preferences in your UAC undergraduate application. 

SRS is not available for all courses. Institution specific SRS criteria is published on the UAC website and includes details of course exceptions.
