This scheme provides current year 12 school or college students with an opportunity to secure an offer to the University during the UAC Early Round in December. The University of Canberra recognises that an ATAR is not the best measure of a student's ability or determination to succeed at University. If a school or college Principal recognises that a student has the aptitude to go on to higher education, they can recommend that student to the University for consideration. 115 ACT students accepted an offer to the University through this initiative in December 2008 and in 2009, the success of the PRS became evident with 542 offers being made nationally from over 800 applicants for entry into 2010. The University is committed to offering the Principal's Recommendation Scheme to schools in NSW and across Australia. Applications will be assessed on the strength of supporting information provided by the student's school, college or TAFE. An ATAR result is not required for entry via this initiative. To apply students must indicate their University of Canberra course preferences on their UAC application. On-time UAC applications close on 30 September 2010. The recommendation form, signed by the student and the school, college or TAFE Principal must be returned to the University of Canberra Admissions Office by this date. Forms and a letter explaining the initiative are being sent to ACT/NSW schools this month. http://www.canberra.edu.au/aus-future-students/about-uc/principals-recommendation-scheme  UTS Engineering and IT Discovery Day Following the success of the UTS:Engineering and IT Discovery Day held on Tuesday June 15, the Faculty is running a repeat of this event on Tuesday 23 November. 200 students from 11 schools attended the first event and participated in a variety of hands on activities including model aeroplane building, 3D object design using CAD, as well as basic networking and web design workshops.
