Farewell to Yr 12
Yr 12 UAC Applications
If your students aren’t sure about what they want to study, they can submit an application to any course and change their preferences as many times as they like, for free. Payment must be made in order to have their application assessed and receive an offer.
All 2022 NSW HSC applicants had their UAC PIN emailed to them by UAC. To start their UAC application students will need their Yr 12 student number (issued through NESA) and their UAC PIN. IB students follow the instructions on UAC under “start here”.
If students are having problems logging in to their UAC application, the quickest and easiest way for them to get help is to call UAC Customer Service on (02) 9752 0200, 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
