UAC will be working closely with universities, NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) and schools in the coming weeks and months to consider the impact of potential changes to the HSC on the ATAR and university admissions.
"By working through the issues with key stakeholders we will ensure that students who wish to go to university next year will still get an ATAR," UAC marketing and engagement general manager, Kim Paino said.
"We need to not only preserve the integrity of the university admissions process but also, and just as importantly, make sure that any measures put in place maintain equity and fairness for all students."
UAC has published a response to COVID-19 at uac.edu.au/uac-covid-19-update.
Further updates will be available on UAC's website as information comes to hand.
