IB change of SATAC preferences

The deadline for existing applicants to change their SATAC preferences to most university courses and still be guaranteed equal consideration is midnight on Wednesday 4 January 2012. After this date changes of preference are not guaranteed equal consideration and the change of preference service on UniWeb will close in preparation for the January offer rounds.


To cater for the needs of IB students, SATAC has arranged for an extension of the change of preference deadline for university courses until 5pm on Friday 6 January 2012.

Please note that:

 the deadline extension applies only to IB students, and to SACE students who are completing an IB subject to be counted as Recognised Studies for the SACE;

 changes of preference made before the 4 January deadline must be made using UniWeb;

IB students needing to change their preferences on Thursday 5 January or Friday 6 January can do so by phoning SATAC on (08) 8224 4000 or 1300 138 440 (local call charge) during office hours.

Students should ensure that they have the details of their changes with them (including course titles and SATAC codes for all preferences in the order in which they wish to have them recorded) at the time they make their call.

SATAC has provided information about these arrangements to the Regional office of the IBO and you may have already received this advice as part of information about national arrangements.
