What’s new from Community Engagement
Introducing Let’s Chat, a series of short videos by the Community Engagement Team at UAC. Over the next few months, we’ll be chatting to you about applying to uni through UAC: from the application basics to the ins and outs of early offers, changing your course preferences, and what to do if you’ve been disadvantaged during your final years of school.
Please click the link to see our short video series which we will update with new content every few weeks. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1s0OQdLq16Ee3mwajbhfhA

Update on SRS and EAS
In response to the disruption to Year 12 studies caused by COVID-19, many institutions will be taking Year 11 results into account when allocating places to Year 12 applicants. We believe that any and all information provided to them about each applicant will be beneficial. This includes the insight that schools can provide about their students’ future performance in different subject areas.
Attached are PowerPoints for EAS and SRS. This will give you information and instructions on both applications.
Publications
The UAC Guide will be distributed to schools very soon. Attached are links to this year’s EAS SRS and ES booklets for students and their families. These booklets will not be printed and will only be available online.
