Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

  • In 2009, the Universities Admissions Index (UAI) for NSW and ACT Year 12 students is changing to the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
  • Students should not be worried about any of the changes as they will have no impact on their current studies or choice of university courses for 2010.
  • The rules for the ATAR are exactly the same as for the UAI. The scaling process will be the same, the rank order of students will be the same, and the same applicants will be selected for the same courses. Any small change in an ATAR compared to a UAI will see an equivalent change in the course cut-off.
  • Visit the UAC ATAR website for full details.
  • Our degree choices page lists all civil engineering options listing both the 2009 UAI and the equivalent ATAR.
