VTAC Information for Year 12 Students and Families

Students will receive their ATAR on Thursday 11 December at 7am.

Between 11 December and 13 December 12pm is the formal Change Of Preference (COP) period. It is a designated time where you can contact your chosen institution (university) if you have questions about changing your preferences. For example: you might want to reorder or add to your preferences if you did better or didn’t do as well as you expected, or you have simply had a change of heart about where and what you would like to study.

Once you have your ATAR you can check it against last year's ATAR (on university website or Course search on VTAC), whilst the ATARs change from year to year the ATARs provided on website/Course search give a good indication of what the minimum ATAR for 2025/26 might be.

If your ATAR is just below the indicated ATAR, KEEP the course on your preference list (if you still want to do it), as ATARs move up and down each year.

Don't forget other calculations are included in the adjustment of ATAR through SEAS applications and possible subject adjustments.

You will only get ONE offer in Round 1, provided you are eligible i.e.: you have the prerequisites, ATAR, other criteria if require: interviews/Casper tests/performances, so it is important to make sure you list your preferences in the order you want to study NOT in the order you think you will get an offer.

Re Casper test - all Education (teaching) courses at all universities require completion of the online CASPER test. CASPER is a situational judgement test. No CASPER = No offer, regardless of ATAR.

You must book in to do the CASPER, see link below. You will choose Undergraduate Education. See link below
