Big mistake causes the university’s admissions body to send a rejection letter to 13,000 students by mistake
- The university’s admissions body accidentally sent rejection letters to students
- At least 13,000 HSC graduates were informed that they had not received a university placement
- The UAC apologized for the big mistake the same day the letters were sent.
The NSW university admissions body and the ACT accidentally issued rejection letters to 13,000 students revealing that they had not been offered a place at a university by 2023.
The University’s Admissions Center sent emails to HSC graduates telling them they were “unsuccessful” in securing a spot on Thursday.
It is believed that the error was caused by a system error in the hub.

The UAC sent follow-up emails to the 13,000 HSC graduates to inform them of the big mistake and apologize Thursday afternoon.
‘Please ignore the email you received today informing you that your application was unsuccessful. He was sent by mistake,” the email said.
“Not all institutions bid in Round 2 in December… some institutions wait until Round 1 in January. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience and please contact us if you need assistance.”
“UAC sent failed letters in error yesterday and sincerely apologizes for any confusion it may have caused,” the statement said. “We’re here to help applicants who aren’t sure about their preferences for the next round of offers and encourage them to contact us.”
Daily Mail Australia has contacted the University’s Admissions Center for comment.

Final results weren’t due to be posted until next Thursday, but some students found they could see their grades early Saturday morning.
A spokeswoman for NESA, which oversees the HSC, told NCA NewsWire on Saturday that investigations were underway into how the breach occurred.
“For a brief period this morning, some students were able to access a preliminary set of 2022 HSC results,” the spokeswoman told NCA NewsWire.
NESA is investigating the cause of the problem and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused.
“The final results of the HSC will be published this Thursday.”
