University of Newcastle Advisory Days

Monday 18 December 2006

Prospective students have their last-chance to seek face-to-face information about program options, careers and alternate pathways to the University of Newcastle at an Advisory Day being held in January.

University staff will be on hand, and current students will be available to talk about their experiences on campus.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services), Dr Sue Gould said the Advisory Days were for all prospective students, but would be particularly useful for people who had received a higher or lower UAI than expected and needed to know their study options.

"People who thought they wouldn't get into a particular course at the University of Newcastle might now find they can. This is their chance to find out more about changing their preferences," Dr Gould said.

Dr Gould said that prospective students had until Thursday 4 January 2007 to change their preferences for inclusion in the Main Round of the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) offers which will be released at 9pm on Wednesday 17 January 2007.

Late applications for 2007 will be accepted by UAC until 1 February 2007.
