The Early Offer Scheme is open to Year 12 students in state and non-government schools in the Ipswich region, Lockyer Valley and selected schools in the western suburbs of Brisbane.

If you’re a Year 12 student in one of these schools and you want to apply for the Early Offer Scheme, you must be considered likely to reach the OP standard that applies to programs at Ipswich. You will then be recommended by your school based on three semesters of Year 11 and 12 results and anticipated OP outcome. You must also meet the prerequisites for your chosen program, including a Sound Achievement in English.

The Early Offer Scheme is open to students in Year 12 in the nominated schools who wish to apply and are considered likely to reach the OP standard applying to programs at the Ipswich Campus. Students are recommended by their schools on the basis of three semesters of Year 11 and 12 results and anticipated OP outcome.

Teachers must work with Year 12 students to identify those students who are interested in studying at the Ipswich Campus and are expected to gain an OP suitable for their chosen program at the Ipswich Campus (based on OP cut-off). Offers for entry to the program are conditional upon students meeting particular thresholds, in terms of the usual prerequisite of Sound Achievement in English and any other prerequisites for their chosen program, as well as a minimum OP result consistent with the current year’s standard for their program of choice.

The Principal will put forward the student recommendations to UQ Ipswich by mid October. Provisional early offers will be made later in the month, based on school recommendation, and confirmed in December, once Year 12 results are available.

Students are also required to lodge an application through QTAC in September, to ensure they have appropriate other options available to them if required. It would be expected that their preferred UQ Ipswich program would be amongst their top preferences. 

Students will then receive their official offer package from The University of Queensland in mid-January. Students wishing to accept the offer will commence classes at the Ipswich Campus in February.

No limit will be placed on the number of students recommended by the schools.
