How they work

ELIGIBILITY

APPLICATION
It’s all automatic. Subject adjustments are handled by . If you've chosen a ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app undergraduate course through UAC and perform well in an HSC subject that is in the specified band, points will be automatically added for that ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app preference.

HOW MANY EXTRA POINTS CAN I GET?
