UOW WOLLONGONG CAMPUS - EARLY ADMISSION INFORMATION EVENING
Early Admission applications for UOW are open now, and we’re here to help.
If you have any questions about the application, need access to a computer to complete it online, or not sure about what courses you should be applying for – you are encouraged to register for this session so we can help them.
For your convenience, we have divided the session into 30-minute blocks to choose from, but they’re welcome to stay as long as they need to.
We can also help with other UOW applications such as Scholarships and Accommodation.
Students will need to bring:
- NESA/Student ID Number, and four-digit UAC PIN
- A laptop/tablet, if you have one. If not we will have some for you to use.
As part of the Early Admission application, students be required to answer four questions. It will be a good idea for them to draft some responses before this info session.
The four questions applicants will be asked to respond to are:
- What are your study strategies for the HSC exams?
- Why do you want to study at UOW?
- Describe a time when you worked with others to achieve a goal.
- How do you manage your time around your studies and other activities? Include three strategies that you’ve used in Year 12 to prioritise tasks and organise your time.
Responses need to be a minimum of 100 characters and a maximum of 500 characters.
Find more information plus other application tips on our website.
