The Early Offer Guarantee is for Year 12 students who want to secure a place at USC before Year 12 results are released. Students need the approval of their school principal to apply.
Steps to apply
Fill out the Early Offer Guarantee application form and meet with your Early Offer Guarantee Coordinator at your school. Remember, your first preference on your QTAC application must match the degree you’re applying for to receive an Early Offer Guarantee.
Submit your application, with a copy of your Year 12 report card from Semester 1, to your school coordinator before the cut-off date.
If you’re applying for an Education or Nursing Science degree, you need to show that you have either:
- Completed six years of primary and secondary school, including grades 7 and 12, in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, United Kingdom, or the United States.
Or
- If English is your second language, you need to have an Academic IELTS score of at least 7.0 with a minimum of 7.0 in each subtest (obtained within one year before starting the program).
For more information visit English language requirements.
You’ll still need to submit your QTAC application to study at USC.
If you already know what to do, you can go straight to QTAC to apply now.
If you need to know the steps involved to apply through QTAC, we can help you.
[HOW TO APPLY]
We’ll contact you by email to let you know if we can make you an Early Offer Guarantee.
After that, you’ll receive your official offer from QTAC followed by our official offer along with all the info you need to enrol in your classes and get ready to start your first semester at USC.
However, there are a few exceptions.
If you’ve applied for one of the below programs, you’ll only receive a conditional offer first because we need to check that you meet the prerequisites or other requirements for the degree.
Everyone must meet the prerequisites before starting study for:
- Computer Science
- Education (all programs)
- Engineering (all programs)
- Laws (all programs)
- Occupational Therapy (Honours)
- Nursing Science
We’ll confirm whether you’ve met the requirements once Year 12 results have been released.
