We use your selection rank to assess your eligibility for your UC course preference. Your selection rank is made up of your most competitive qualification, plus any adjustment factors you鈥檙e eligible for.

Having up to five adjustment points added to your selection rank can help you receive an offer to study for your preferred course, even if you don't quite meet the necessary requirements for entry.
