UAC

UAC stands for the University Admission Centre, this is the body that processes NSW University offers. NESA will send UAC your HSC results and they will use this to formulate an ATAR rank, this number is then used by universities to create scores/ cut offs for entry into their courses. University offers are then issued based on the preferences you provide and the ATAR ranking you have achieved.
