Here’s How ACU Can Help You Unlock The Benefits Of An Early Offer To Uni

Stressing over your ATAR is so 10 years ago.

There's nothing quite like the stress of Year 12. Hurtling towards your final exams, pinning all of your future hopes on one number, your self-worth inextricably linked to academic validation...what a magical time.

What if we told you there's a better way? 

Early offer programs are the ultimate antidote to Year 12 exam stress. The ACU Guarantee program allows you to gain admission to your dream course ahead of time, so you can take the pressure off your final year of school and enjoy it for the ride it truly is.

So, how does it work? Through their ACU Guarantee program, ACU will look at your Year 11 results and if they like what they see — they'll make you an offer before you've even sat a single final exam!

The ACU Guarantee program allows you to complete Year 12 with the comfort of knowing you've already secured a place in your desired course. Now, you do still need to sit your exams and complete Year 12 to validate the offer, but you can prepare for it knowing your place at ACU is secure.

There are plenty of other reasons to consider early offer programs, like ACU Guarantee. First and foremost, you get to protect your peace of mind.

Everyone with university aspirations knows the stress of Year 12. Every mark counts when you're working for a specific ATAR, and the anxiety of awaiting your final results is basically just one long spiral of nope. 

The ACU Guarantee program allows you to bypass that stress, so you can focus on your final exams knowing they're not the be-all and end-all. Sure, they still matter and you should do your best, but it’s easier to focus when you’re not completely stressed out and under tons of pressure. Everybody wins. 

You also get the chance to balance your mental energy. Once you take yourself out of the Year 12 pressure cooker, you'll find your final year of high school is actually a pretty fun moment in time.

It can be a scary thought to realise that you'll never get *this* time again! But as someone who sat their Year 12 exams nearly a decade ago, I shut myself off from the world to study like a demon. I wish I could go back and spend more of that time doing the things 17-year-olds do! When you look back, it's the time you spent with friends you'll remember fondly. Not the mark you got on that geography assessment.

Having a well-rounded final year of study can set you up for a seamless transition into the world beyond high school (yes, there is one!). Why wouldn't you do whatever you could to make that leap easier?

Transitioning from high school to the world of uni can be tough. Uni requires more independence and responsibility from everyone, and leaving the safety net of high school can be a big shock to the system. Spending your final year studying hard, but also soaking up the company of good friends and good times is one of the best things you can do in preparing yourself to take that next step. 

Once you receive an early offer into a course, you generally receive a stack of information papers as well as opportunities to attend open days and get familiar with your campus ahead of time — which also help you ease into the uni student life.

If you're an ~anxious person~ like moi, nothing soothes the soul more than removing some uncertainty from the future. Knowing your way around campus (before most people even know what uni they're going to!) is a big win for those of us who like to be in the know. 

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to ACU and check out their ACU Guarantee program to see if it's right for you. It might just change how you feel for your final months in high school!

This could be you; in your lane, moisturised, graduating and thriving — all because you chose an early offer with ACU.
