USC’s Early Offer Guarantee means you could receive an offer to study at USC as early as August, long before ATARs and final results are released. You can beat the stress of getting into uni knowing you’re sorted for 2022.
How does it work?
The offer is made based on your school Principal's recommendation and is independent of your Year 12 results. Your Principal will consider your academic performance, as well as your motivation, talents, passions and abilities to see if these are a match for success at university. If your Principal recommends you for the Early Offer Guarantee, then as long as you have met the prerequisites and other program specific requirements for your chosen degree, you’ll receive an early offer to study an eligible program at USC.
All offers made before the last day of school will be conditional on you completing Year 12, so make sure you keep going to school and do your best in your exams.
