COVID-19 (coronavirus) advice for the UQ community - STUDENTS - Academic Transcripts

If you are applying to commence an undergraduate program in Semester 2 at UQ, we may be able to accept alternative evidence of your high school results. These include:

• If you are studying GCE A Levels, your school may be able to provide predicted grades. You will still need to meet the program minimum entry score equivalent for GCE A Levels.
• Adjusted test results and grades from testing centres that UQ recognises, such as Advanced Placements (APs) and Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SATs).
• The grades and recommendations from the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual).
• The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)’s Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) online multiple choice exam to meet Maths A and English subject pre-requisites, as well as, minimum English language proficiency requirements (unless your UQ program requirements exclude these).

Due to the impacts that COVID-19 is having on education institutions globally, UQ will temporarily offer a conditional Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) when students can demonstrate that they have met the entry requirements, however, due to circumstances beyond their control, are unable to provide the official certified documentation in time for commencement of Semester 2.

If you meet the entry requirements for your program and have been issued with a conditional CoE, this means you will be able to start your program at UQ on a provisional basis. To satisfy the conditions of your conditional CoE, you must provide us with all outstanding official documents that have been certified before the end of classes in Semester 2, 2020. Otherwise, you are at risk of having your CoE cancelled.
