The University of Queensland will offer a limited number of places in the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) mid-year offer round for commencement in second semester 2002.

University Admissions manager Claron Driscoll said the UQ Ipswich and Gatton campuses, which are both still expanding, would have the most places available for mid-year entry.

"Mid-year entry is the perfect opportunity for prospective students who were too late lodging a QTAC application for first semester, or for those whose circumstances have changed this year and now find they have time to study," she said.

"The expected cut-offs for programs at the Ipswich campus are likely to be similar to first semester."

Ms Driscoll said the mid-year intake was designed to provide flexibility and to address student needs.

While the University had experienced a continuing high level of demand for entry there were also some places available at the University`s St Lucia campus in 2002 for suitably qualified applicants, with entry scores remaining fairly high.

Applications can be made via the QTAC website: http://www.qtac.edu.au

As well, QTAC application forms are available from the Student Centres at The University of Queensland`s St Lucia, Ipswich and Gatton campuses, or at Brisbane Customs House. Forms can also be collected from the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre at Milton or any TAFE college or University campus in Queensland.

The closing date for on-time mid-year applications will be Friday, May 17, 2002. The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre will make first round offers on Thursday June 13, with the final round scheduled for Wednesday, July 3.
