The University Admissions Centre has apologised for the email blunder, which left students distressed.
The organisation responsible for administering university offers has apologised after it mistakenly told 13,000 students they had been rejected from tertiary study when they still had a chance of receiving a place.
“Please disregard the email you received today telling you your application was unsuccessful. It was sent in error,” the follow-up email said. “UAC sent unsuccessful letters in error yesterday and sincerely apologises for any confusion it may have caused,” the statement said. “We’re here to help applicants unsure about their preferences for the next offer round and encourage them to contact us.”
The email error is the second controversy to plague the HSC class of 2022, after the NSW Education Standards Authority, which administers the HSC, accidentally published students’ marks online days ahead of their official release. That was the second year in a row students were able to look at their marks early.
