Year 12 bonus points
If you are going to apply as a current school leaver you may be eligible for the UTS Year 12 Bonus Scheme.
The Year 12 Bonus Scheme awards bonus points to students based on their performance in selected high school subjects that are relevant to the course they have applied for.
UTS has put together the Year 12 Bonus Scheme because we believe that your ability to undertake the course you choose can be better measured by looking at a combination of the subjects you have taken and your overall ATAR, rather than looking only at your ATAR. This is because your ATAR tells us where you sit compared to other people but doesn't take into account your ability in subjects relevant to the course you select which can affect how you do.
You may also be eligible for ATAR concessions, or bonus points, under one of the access scheme entry pathways.
Who is eligible for bonus points?
Under the Year 12 Bonus Scheme you are eligible to receive bonus points as long as you have:
- applied for a UTS course that awards bonus points
- a 2011 ATAR (or interstate equivalent)
- completed the relevant HSC subjects
If you're completing the International Baccalaureate (IB) or are an interstate Year 12 student in 2011 you will also be
considered under the scheme.
UAC provide details of which NSW HSC subjects are my IB subjects comparable to (opens an external site).
How to apply
You do not need to apply separately for Year 12 Bonus Scheme bonus points.
If you've put a UTS course that awards bonus points as one of the preferences on your UAC application after your ATAR results are released, we will automatically apply bonus points to your application.
Awarding bonus points
The maximum number of bonus points you can be awarded for each UTS course you have down on your UAC application is 5.
