While many Year 12 students are worried about the impact COVID-19 will have on going to uni, UAC will work with universities, NESA, schools and other stakeholders to ensure that students can still get through Year 12 and reach their goals.
For students not in Year 12 looking to start a uni course mid-year, applications for semester 2, 2020 courses are also open.
Meantime, while state education ministers discuss the implications of COVID-19 on Year 12 certificates this year, UAC has announced that it will still be calculating an ATAR for 2020 NSW HSC students.
UAC will work closely with universities, NESA and schools to consider changes to the HSC on the ATAR and uni admissions.
