  2. Select a course from the list on the form or from this website
  3. Apply for your chosen course through UAC, making the University of Canberra your first preference. You must write down your UAC Application number, because you will need this for your Principals' Recommendation Application Form
  4. Complete and sign the form and have the form signed by your parent or guardian
  5. Hand the form back to your principal so he/she can send it to the University of Canberra by 30 September 2011.

Note. Handing your application form in will not guarantee you an offer.
