UNE
The HSC is just around the corner — we're here to help your students get ahead of the pack with a guaranteed Early Entry offer from UNE.
UNE Early Entry explained
Early Entry is a guaranteed university offer, open to all Year 12 applicants, whether or not they’re expecting to receive an ATAR score. It relies on a school assessment of their attributes and abilities: their ability to work and learn independently, and their overall potential for academic success.
By applying directly to UNE, students can get their offer before the release of their Year 12 results, giving them certainty that no matter what happens, they will have a place at UNE.
Benefits of applying online directly to UNE:
· There are no application fees
· If students are not eligible for one of their preferences, they will receive an offer for an alternative course.
· Your students will know in November that they have a place at UNE, relieving the pressure of waiting for results
· We will guarantee students an offer to start with us in 2023 based on your school's recommendation, without an ATAR Score
· No UAC/QTAC applications required
· Applying through UNE Early Entry does not prevent students from making other applications through a Tertiary Admissions Centre, so it’s a great way to increase their chances of getting into the course they want.
