Early Entry Explained
Early Entry University applications do not open for Year 12 2024 until next year. How you apply to early entry will be explained to you in Term 1 Year 12.
Early entry programs provide another option for getting an offer to university. Many of the programs will give you an offer in August, September, or October 2024, before your final Year 12 exams start. They do this by looking at your Year 11 grades. In most cases, the university will look at your Year 11 Semester 2 report grades to assess you.
Not all universities have early entry options and most of our students apply for university courses based on their final ATAR/IB results at the end of Year 12 as well as early entry.

UAC Digital | Let’s Chat – Applying to the Schools Recommendation Scheme
September 6
While the ATAR is still the main selection tool used by most universities, there are other ways for you to show that you’re ready to succeed at uni. Many institutions have one or more early offer schemes for Year 12 students. Through these schemes, institutions assess you using criteria other than (or in addition to) your ATAR.
We’ll give you an overview of the Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) and discuss:
- how to apply
- whether you’re guaranteed early entry if you apply
- other universities’ direct early entry schemes
- how many early entry schemes you can apply for
