How to accept your offer - international

Congratulations on receiving an offer to study at the University of Canberra. We can’t wait to welcome you to our world-class campus.

Accepting your offer is easy, though there may be a few things you need to organise first. The type of offer you’ve received – whether it’s unconditional, conditional or provisional – will determine what you need to do.

Follow the steps for the relevant offer type below to accept your offer and secure your place in your course.

If you’ve received a provisional offer, you need to complete a Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) assessment before you can accept. You’ll be sent a GTE assessment to complete separately at the same time you receive your offer letter.

You may also need to provide additional documents to satisfy any conditions outlined in your offer letter. You can upload these documents through our online application portal, or ask your agent to upload them on your behalf through our agent portal.

Once you’ve completed your GTE assessment and met the conditions of your offer, we’ll email you confirming that you can now accept your offer and pay your acceptance fee.

Applying for a review of decision

Applying for a review of decision

Main

If have any questions or concerns about the outcome of your application, you can contact our Admissions Office for help.

If you’re unable to resolve your concerns, you can apply for a formal review of your application in accordance with the University of Canberra Admissions Rules.

An application for review must be made in writing to director.sc@canberra.edu.au within 60 days of receiving your admissions outcome and needs to provide evidence of how the decision:

  • did not take all relevant material submitted into account
  • took irrelevant material into account
  • demonstrated bias that disadvantaged you in the decision.

You can also submit general feedback about the application process to admissions.feedback@canberra.edu.au.

Deferring your offer

Deferring your offer

Main

If you’ve received your offer but would like to start studying at a later date, you may be able to defer for up to one year.

Most coursework offers can be deferred, though there are some situations where deferring may not be available. For example, admission to some courses is limited to certain teaching periods.

If you’ve received an offer for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) in a postgraduate course, you can’t defer so you'll need to start on the date indicated in your offer or reapply for admission at a later date.

If you’d like advice on whether your offer can be deferred or not, email our Admissions Office.
