Offers are out: what to do next

Got an offer to your number 1 course

That's great! Go ahead and accept it and follow the uni's instructions for enrolment.

Got an offer but it's not to your preferred course

• Accept the offer.
• Move the offered course to the bottom of your preference list (or remove it altogether).
• Make sure you have your preferred course at the top of your preference list.

If you get an offer to your preferred course in February Round 1, you can:

• accept the new offer
• withdraw your acceptance of the first offer (this will free up your place in the course for someone else).

Changing your preferences after you receive an offer

Haven't received any offers yet

• Reassess your preferences. Are they courses for which your ATAR should meet the lowest required selection rank? Check the selection ranks required to receive an offer to each course in January Round 1: January Round 1 lowest selection ranks.
• Contact the institution to make sure there are still vacancies in your preferred courses.
• Consider including a diploma course in your preference list. They usually require a lower selection rank than bachelor degrees in the same subject area and, if you do well in your first year, you can often transfer to the second year of the related bachelor degree.
• Lock in your preferences for February Round 1 offers by midnight on Sunday 31 January.
• In your application, make sure you have selected 'Yes' to the question asking you if you'd like to receive information about alternative study options. This will allow institutions to contact you about other courses.

Haven't applied for any courses yet

It’s not too late, but applications close on 5 February and not all courses will have vacancies. Check with the institution before applying.

Head to the undergraduate course search to check individual course deadlines (some will have already closed to new applications).
