How do EE offers work through UACHow do EE offers work through UAC• EE works through the UAC preference system, students still

need to apply through UAC for offer to be activated

• The offer needs to be the student’s highest eligible preference to be activated

• Students do not need to accept an EE offer direct to UOW

• It is NOT a legal contract – i.e. students don’t HAVE to accept the offer.

• Please advise students that this is not the only way to get into UOW now – can still apply through UAC as usual
