Applying
You can only submit one QTAC application in each admissions period. If you change your mind about what you want to study, you can simply change your course preferences.
Yes, you can only receive one offer in each offer round based on your highest eligible preference. If you list mid-year intakes above semester one intakes, you will only be considered for these semester two courses. Visit the Preferences page for further information on ordering your preferences.
Make sure you order your preferences carefully, so you don’t miss out on what you want to study.
- Preferences 1 and 2 should be the most desired courses you want to study,
- Preferences 3 and 4 should be backup courses you want to study that are considered less competitive,
- Preferences 5 and 6 should be pathway courses that will help you upgrade into a preferred course
Visit the Preferences page for further information.
If you receive an offer, QTAC will notify you by both SMS and email. You will generally have four days to respond to your offer. If you do not respond by the deadline, your offer will expire, you will lose your offer rights, and you will no longer be considered for any other course preferences. If this happens, please contact us for assistance.
You can use employment experience as a way to obtain a QTAC selection rank to improve your chances of getting into a course. Your employment experience does not have to relate to the course you want to study, unless specified. If you do not wish to use employment as the basis of your application, you can simply leave this out. If you have already listed this, you can request that we disregard it from your application.
Institutions will select specific dates throughout the year on which to make offers for their courses. These dates are called offer rounds. Different institutions make offers on different dates. To find out what dates your chosen institution is making offers, check out our Key Dates page.
You should still list qualifications if you are currently in the process of completing study. Once your application has been lodged you may be asked to provide evidence of your results. You can contact us when your results are available, so we can update your application.
Visit the Course Search page for a list of programs and institutions available. Here you will find a list of all programs offered, and which intakes they are available in. Take note of the course code, as this will help you locate the course quickly through your QTAC application.
