UA presented analyses of the number of eligible domestic applications, offers received and offers accepted by State, field of education and Year 12 Tertiary Entrance Ranks (TERs). Using this information, Universities Australia estimated the underlying level of ‘unmet demand’ for higher education places. Scope Only eligible domestic applicants for undergraduate places.

All “Other” applicants (non-Year 12 applicants) were considered eligible for undergraduate university courses. Reference Period Commenced in January of each academic year. First-round offers are made in January, with successive rounds during February. Frequency of Collection Annual Method of Collection UA collated data on domestic applicants for undergraduate university courses from the Tertiary Admission Centres (TACs) in each State, with the ACT incorporated in NSW data, and the NT incorporated in SA data.
