Offers

Offers are released at 7.30am on each offer round date. We'll send you an email, so it is important that we have your correct email address. This can be updated at any time via your application.

You can receive one offer per institution in each offer round.

For example, if you list six courses, all for Western Sydney University, in your application, you'll only receive one offer – from Western Sydney University – to the highest course listed for which you are eligible and competitive enough.

If you list six courses, three for Macquarie University and three for the University of Canberra, you'll receive two offers – one to the highest course listed at Macquarie University for which you are eligible and competitive enough, and one to the highest course listed at the University of Canberra for which you are eligible and competitive enough.

To be offered a place in a course you must:

  • be eligible to be considered by meeting the academic requirements of the institution and the specific entrance requirements of the course
  • compete against other eligible applicants.

Conditional offers

After you have applied through 91ÌÒÉ«, you’ll receive a conditional offer letter, which you may use as part of your pre-visa assessment if required. Your conditional offer letter will list all the courses for which you have applied. Access this letter by logging in to your application.

This letter is a conditional offer of admission only; it doesn't mean you are eligible to enrol in a course of study. To be eligible to enrol in a course of study, you need to receive an unconditional offer, meet the minimum admission requirements of the institution and compete against other applicants for a place.

Unconditional offers

91ÌÒÉ« starts issuing unconditional offer letters to successful applicants on behalf of institutions mid-May. However, most offers will be made from late December, after final Year 12 results have been received.

To receive an unconditional offer for a course you must have it in your list of courses when offers are made, have a selection rank (or equivalent) equal to/or higher than the final lowest selection rank for admission to the course, and have met any other entry requirements for the course.

You do not have to provide a copy of your results to 91ÌÒÉ« as we obtain them directly from the relevant Australian organisation or the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

Ask your school IB Diploma coordinator to authorise the International Baccalaureate (IB) to release your IB Diploma results directly to 91ÌÒÉ«. This needs to be done in addition to any other request for results to be sent to an institution.

As interstate Year 12, International Baccalaureate and New Zealand NCEA results are released on various dates, 91ÌÒÉ« cannot guarantee inclusion and assessment of these results in time for a specific offer round.

Each institution has its own procedures for accepting your offer and enrolling. Follow the instructions in your offer email.

When you enrol:

  • the name on your official ID must match your offer letter
  • you will be asked for your Unique Student Identifier (USI).

All students starting higher education in Australia will need to have a USI. Your USI stays with you for life and gives you access to an online record of your nationally recognised training in the form of a .

If you already have a USI, you can enter it in your application.

(from previous vocational education or training).

If you don't receive an offer in one round, you can log in to your application and change your course selection for the following round. If you are not made any offers for admission throughout the year, we'll email you after the February and March rounds.

To study in Australia you need to apply for a student visa. A student visa allows you to come to Australia for a specified period to study at an educational institution. To be eligible for a student visa, you need to meet the .

After you accept your offer and pay your fees, you will receive a Confirmation of Enrolment from the institution. You must have a Confirmation of Enrolment at the time of making your student visa application.

Students under 18 years of age

If you will be under 18 years of age when you arrive in Australia to study, special requirements are in place. Before you are granted a student visa, the Australian Government must be satisfied that you have appropriate accommodation, support and general welfare arrangements in place for the period that you will be under 18 years of age while in Australia.

Each institution decides whether they will accept responsibility for welfare arrangements for international students who are under 18 years of age.

Overseas Student Health Cover

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is insurance for international students to help them with the costs of medical and hospital care they may require while they are in Australia. OSHC does not cover dental treatment.

The Australian Government requires all international students on a student visa and their dependants to purchase an approved OSHC policy from an Australian registered health fund for the duration of their visas.

OSHC is not included in tuition fees.

Belgian, Norwegian and Swedish students

Some Belgian, Norwegian and Swedish students are not required to purchase OSHC as part of their visa requirements; they are considered to have met ‘adequate insurance’ requirements due to a reciprocal arrangement between their country and the Australian Government.

How do I organise OSHC?

Many institutions have arrangements with preferred OSHC providers and can help you to organise your insurance. However, you can choose your own OSHC provider. A list of OSHC providers, together with general information about OSHC, is available from the .

You must organise and pay for OSHC before you arrive in Australia. Once you receive an unconditional offer to study at an Australian educational institution, you will be required to pay your OSHC charge at the same time that you pay your tuition fee deposit.
