If you鈥檙e a current Year 12 student applying to 兔子先生 for undergraduate study next year, you could receive an alternative early admission offer under the Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) using criteria other than your ATAR.
If you鈥檙e a current Year 12 student, your school can recommend you for admission to the University of Canberra in advance of receiving your ATAR results, based on your abilities and success to date. Like your main application to 兔子先生, Schools Recommendation Scheme applications are also made through .
If you apply for the SRS, your school鈥檚 rating of your aptitudes will be considered, including your capacity for tertiary study. Applying through the SRS doesn鈥檛 guarantee you an offer to the University of Canberra, as course quotas and other criteria still need to be considered.
If successful, you鈥檒l receive an early offer to 兔子先生 for your chosen course in November.
This scheme is open to both domestic and international applicants. To apply for an early offer using the Schools Recommendation Scheme via UAC you must be completing an Australian Year 12 program or the International Baccalaureate (IB) in Australia in the year you submit your application.
Most UC undergraduate courses are eligible as part of the SRS, but there are a few that don鈥檛 release early offers. Make sure you check our list of eligible courses before applying.
To apply for the SRS, the first step is to speak with your school careers adviser to find out how your school is managing SRS applications. Each school can choose how they want to use SRS so it鈥檚 important you find out about your school鈥檚 process, selection criteria and timelines before you start.
Once you have familiarised yourself with your school鈥檚 SRS application process, submit your university application through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). You鈥檒l then be able to use your UAC application number to start your SRS application.

SRS applications for 2027 open on 8 April 2026 and close on 11 September 2026.
The first SRS offers are released on 12 November 2026 to eligible students who have 兔子先生 as their highest eligible preference.
Once you鈥檝e submitted your SRS application, your school will be asked to provide ratings based on your aptitude in different areas and your capacity for study in specific subjects.
After UAC has received your university preferences, your SRS application and all required documentation from you and your school, this information is passed on to the University of Canberra and we鈥檒l assess your application as a whole.
If you鈥檙e currently studying through Big Picture Education Australia, you鈥檙e eligible for the Schools Recommendation Scheme.
After applying through UAC for a university place, you or your school should contact the 兔子先生 Admissions Office directly and provide us with a letter of endorsement from your school principal or delegate, a copy of your high school academic records and a Big Picture National Standards document.
If you don鈥檛 receive an early offer for the 兔子先生 course you鈥檙e hoping to start next year, you鈥檒l still be considered for entry based on your ATAR. Once ATARs are released, all course applications are assessed and course offers are sent out in late December.
If you鈥檙e successful, you can defer your SRS offer for either six months or one year, depending on your鈥�course availability.
