If you're a Year 12 student planning to commence your creative industries studies at JMC Academy's Sydney campus in the February intake, you'll need to lodge your application through UAC.

What is UAC?

The Universities Admissions Centre processes applications for most undergraduate courses at participating institutions in NSW, including JMC Academy. UAC allows you to apply for multiple courses and institutions in a single application, and distributes offer notifications once selection decisions are made.

Not a current Year 12 student, or applying for our June or September intakes? You can apply directly to JMC instead. 

UAC Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS)

JMC Academy proudly participates in the UAC Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS), giving Year 12 students the opportunity to secure an early offer to study with us before final ATAR results are released.

The SRS allows schools to recommend students based on their academic potential and performance throughout Year 11 and 12, not just final exam marks. It’s a great way to reduce the pressure of final exams and plan ahead with confidence.

If you're passionate about the creative industries and ready to kickstart your career, applying through SRS could be your first step towards joining the JMC community.
