UAC - Schools Recommendation Schemes (SRS)

Applications close 16 Sept

The Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) is one way institutions make early offers of undergraduate admission to Year 12 students. They do this by using criteria other than (or in addition to) the ATAR.

Information about applying this year, including application and offer dates, is being updated progressively, so check back at this link regularly.

https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/scholarships-and-schemes/schools-recommendation-schemes

SRS now part of undergraduate application

This year, the Schools Recommendation Scheme application is integrated into the undergraduate application; it is no longer a standalone application. 

Once students have submitted their undergraduate application a link to the SRS application will appear. It will only take them a minute or so to complete.

WSU HSC True Reward Early Offers - Applications Now Open

Apply by 4 September for first round

Our HSC True Reward early offer program will give school leavers much needed peace of mind, providing students with an early offer into most university degrees based on their Year 11 or Year 12 results.

HSC True Reward was first launched in 2017, providing students with an early offer into Western based on HSC results, instead of a scaled ATAR, following analysis showing subject performance is a reliable indicator of student success.

If you are a year 12 HSC student and have selected eligible course preferences, you will automatically be considered for a HSC True Reward early offer.

University of Sydney Creative Arts Special Admission Scheme (CASAS)

Did you know you can apply to get an early offer from the Con before you get your ATAR? If you’ve got the talent and the dedication, we want you.

The Creative Arts Special Admissions Scheme offers talented Year 12 students a chance to receive an early offer to study music based on their audition and academic performance in year 11 and 12 so far, prior to getting an ATAR.

The degrees available under the admissions scheme are: 

·         Bachelor of Music

·         Bachelor of Music (Composition)

·         Bachelor of Music (Performance)

If you are a HSC student in NSW, you must do the following:

·         Apply to UAC by the relevant August Round 1 or October Round 1 deadline.

·         List your chosen music degree as your first preference.

·         Meet the audition/portfolio and interview requirements in the July or September rounds of auditions.

You are encouraged to apply in the July round of auditions (UAC August Round 1) where you will be able to audition live and have a chance to secure an early offer before submitting HSC work or undertaking exams. 

For most NSW Year 12 HSC students, no separate application is required, and your Year 11 and 12 results and predicted ATAR will be obtained automatically through UAC by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
