But those considering studying at university next year can now apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
Year 12 students in NSW and the ACT have been emailed their PINs and can now apply straight away for study at any of UAC's participating institutions.
Last year more than 49,000 Year 12 students applied through UAC. Their most popular course choices were in the fields of Society & Culture and Health and Management.
This was reflected at UOW as well in 2022, with a Bachelor of Business topping the list ahead of Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Exercise Science.
Students can apply now and come back later to review and change their course preferences.
Courses will be added in the coming months and all semester 1, 2023 courses will be available from early August.
For those not in Year 12 looking to start a uni course mid-year, applications for semester 2, 2022 courses are also open.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"While applications have opened today there's of course still plenty of time to apply," UAC's marketing and engagement general manager Kim Paino said.
"One thing we do find though is that Year 12 students like to get their applications in early and nearly all of them apply by the end of September at the latest.
"It will be interesting to see what the demand for uni study is this year after the last two years of uncertainty; I suspect it will likely return to pre-pandemic levels but that won't be known for many months."
