when does uac main round preferences close? (1 Viewer)

Why bother asking questions if you're not going to trust any answers?

I just wanna know why one would leave it THIS late. I did mine waaaaay back in August. It makes a rats arse difference in if I get accepted, but I did it in August so all I had to do was worry about it in two weeks time. The applications have been open since August. Why? I hate to say it, but if you can't even get a UAC application on time (took about 3 hours to ensure I got it right), how do you expect to pass university?

Then you clearly don't understand the concept of specificity, and UAC is not a valid source as its ambiguity was the very thing in question. Good day.

The sources you were provided with did not leave it open to ambiguity.

You must change your course preferences by midnight (Sydney local time) on these dates:
Main Round – Wed 6 Jan 2010

"midnight", in relation to a particular day, means the point of time at which that day ends.

I can understand that you may have got confused about the meaning of midnight from the UAC source, but the Interpretation Act was a source which cleared it up for you, made it unambiguous. If you refused to trust these valid sources and ignored advice to call UAC directly in the morning to ask them there isn't much anyone could have done to convince you.
