The Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) processes applications for admission to most undergraduate courses at participating institutions (mainly located in NSW and the ACT).
They also:
process applications for admission to many postgraduate courses
calculate and provide the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) to NSW HSC students
process applications for Educational Access Schemes (EAS)
process applications for some Equity Scholarships (ES)
process applications for some Schools Recommendation Schemes (SRS).
In collaboration with our participating institutions, UAC continuously explore ways of improving our service and the way in which we deliver it, and promote equity of access to tertiary education.
