ATAR guarantee
The ATAR guarantee is not available for students intending to study at UQ on a student visa. International students studying high school in Australia are also not eligible.
Visit the program page to see the minimum entry score for your preferred program.
If you can't meet the minimum entry score, we have programs that can help.
Guaranteed entry
We offer guaranteed entry to most undergraduate programs based on minimum ATAR thresholds, giving you certainty when applying to UQ so you can focus on planning for 2026 and beyond.
If you're a domestic student receiving an ATAR, selection rank or International Baccalaureate score, you'll be considered for guaranteed entry. You don't need to be a current high school student.
International students studying high school in Australia aren't eligible for the guarantee.
What you'll need to do
If your QTAC preferences include a UQ undergraduate program, you will automatically be considered for the ATAR guarantee. You don’t need to do anything extra.

These guaranteed entry scores are for Semester 1, 2026 only and will apply for offers made up until the main offer round in January 2026.
Some programs have limited places, so their guaranteed entry score has been set high. Programs that are highly competitive, or have other entry requirements, won't have a guarantee.
