Is this applying to our cohort? Surely they can't upend everything so close to the end of the year

no, I think this is going to apply for the next cohorts, 2023 going

I don't think so, the laws don't seem to have even been drafted yet based on what I've read

The new rules do not appear to be explicitly stated as of yet. However, from what I have observed, NESA is seeking to limit the scope of early offers to university degrees and/or increase the requirements/overall difficulty of receiving an early offer, the reason being that the status quo is said to potentially undermine the importance of the HSC. For example, one of my students has already received an offer into his chosen degree, and while he is still trying to perform to the best of his abilities in his HSC exams, other students who may be in the same situation may feel that doing their best in their HSC exams is no longer justified, which is something that NESA is not happy about.
