We'll send you an email if you receive an offer . Offers to domestic and international undergraduate applicants are emailed on scheduled dates throughout the year. Your offers will also be recorded in your application.

Domestic undergraduate offer rounds

International undergraduate offer rounds

Offers to postgraduate applicants are released progressively throughout the year.

Most institutions require you to accept your offer online; however, each institution has particular instructions for accepting offers. Check the institution's website and follow the instructions carefully.

Most institutions allow you to defer, but it depends on the institution and the course. Contact the relevant institution for more information.

When an institution offers you a place, we'll send you an email. Follow the link in the email to either accept your offer on the institution's website or to find out more about the offer acceptance process. Accept your offer as soon as you can, as some offers lapse after a certain period (eg seven days).

International applicants: Once you have accepted your offer and paid the required fees, the institution will send you a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). This document will allow you to obtain your student visa.

To authorise someone to accept an offer on your behalf, contact the relevant institution.

Contact the relevant institution for advice as enrolment dates and procedures differ for each institution.

Institutions decide who they will make offers to. 91ÌÒÉ« doesn't select applicants and doesn't have the power to persuade institutions to make a particular offer or to question decisions made by institutions.

If you have questions about the selection process, contact the admissions office at the relevant institution. You can also ask them about the study options that may be available to you.

Undergraduate applicants

If you don't receive an offer at all for semester 1, we'll advise you of this after:

• January Round 2
• February Round 1
• February Round 2
• March Round 1

depending on when you applied.

You won't receive an unsuccessful letter if you received an offer in any round up to and including these rounds.

If you're a Year 12 student, an unsuccessful SRS application has no effect on your 91ÌÒÉ« undergraduate application.

International applicants

If you are not made any offers for admission throughout the year, we'll email you after the February and March rounds.

You can accept your new offer before withdrawing your enrolment from the first institution. However, ensure you follow the institution's procedures for withdrawing your enrolment by the appropriate census date, otherwise you'll be charged fees.

Some institutions may make you an offer to a pathway (lower level) course if you're not eligible or competitive enough for the courses for which you've applied. Read more about pathways to university.

December Round 2 and January Round 1 are the biggest offer rounds for undergraduate courses starting in 2025.

However, not all institutions make offers in December Round 2: check institutions participating in each offer round. And some institutions will wait until January Round 1 or January Round 2 to make offers to a small number of courses (eg medical degrees). Check with the relevant institutions about your selected courses.

If the institution advises that you didn't receive an offer in December Round 2 because your weren't competitive enough, compare your ATAR to the published lowest selection ranks for December Round 2 (which we'll publish when offers are released) and change your preferences for the next offer round: January Round 1. Choose courses that are likely to have vacancies and that have lowest selection ranks similar to, or lower than, your ATAR.

It is also a good idea to:

• consider adding some pathway courses to your preferences (eg a diploma in the same subject area)
• discuss your options with different institutions.

If you do receive an offer in December Round 2 but it's not to your first preference, we recommend you accept it anyway. While your first preference will be considered again in the next offer round, there is no guarantee that you will receive another offer. If you go on to receive a second offer, you can then accept it and withdraw your acceptance of the first offer.

How to change your course preferences

Pathways to university

There are several offer rounds throughout the year. Check the undergraduate key dates for the details of all offer rounds.

Most applicants will receive their offers once end-of-year results are known. For 2025 admissions, this will be in December Round 2 and January Round 1.

Some institutions may make a limited number of early offers to certain applicants, including:

• post-school applicants with no current studies or tests
• Year 12 applicants selected on criteria other than their ATAR, such as interview, audition, or special admissions program
• applicants for distance education courses
• Year 12 applicants receiving offers as part of the Schools Recommendation Schemes.

After January Round 1 there are more offer rounds for study in semester 1. However, not all institutions make offers in these rounds and not all courses will still have vacancies. Read more about undergraduate offers.

You can only receive one offer in each offer round. If you receive an offer in one round and accept it, and then receive an offer in a later round, you can choose either to:

• keep your previous offer and not accept your new offer, or
• accept your new offer and withdraw from the course you've already accepted.

Read about changing your preferences after you receive an offer.

Yes. But keep in mind that your course preferences are considered in the order in which you've listed them. If you receive an offer to your first preference for an institution in one offer run, you won’t be considered for your lower preferences at that institution in subsequent offer runs unless you change your preferences.

If you’d like to be considered for other courses at an institution, you need to remove your first preference and put your new preferred course as your first preference for that institution before the closing date for the next offer round.

If you receive an offer to a lower preference in an offer round, you’ll automatically be considered for your higher preferences at an institution in subsequent rounds.

Accept your offer. If you don't accept it and you don't receive an offer in a future round, you may miss out on studying at university this year. Accepting your offer doesn't stop you from being considered in future offer rounds unless it is your first preference.

No, even if an institution is making some offers in an early round, it may not be making any offers to the course you have listed as your first preference. Therefore, if you are eligible and competitive enough, it can make you an offer to that preference in a later offer round.

For example, if you have consecutive preferences (say 1, 2 and 3) for the same institution in an early offer round and you get an offer to preference 3, you may have missed out on an offer to preferences 1 and 2 not because you're not eligible, but because the institution is not making offers to that course until later offer rounds.

Accepting an offer to a lower course preference doesn't stop you from being considered for your higher course preferences in later offer rounds.

Most offers to Year 12 applicants will be made after ATARs are released, but there are many offer rounds throughout the year. Check the international key dates for the details of all offer rounds.

Your courses are considered in the order you have listed them in your application. However, each institution you have applied to will consider your application separately. Therefore, you can receive an offer to your highest preference at each institution included in your application (if you are eligible and competitive enough).

For example, if you list six courses, all for Western Sydney University, in your application, you will 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 Newcastle, you will 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 Newcastle for which you are eligible and competitive enough.

Approximately 48 hours after you have applied through 91ÌÒÉ«, you'll receive a conditional offer of admission which lists all the courses for which you've applied. You can use a conditional offer of admission as part of you pre-visa assessment, if required, but it does not 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.

Read more about conditional and unconditional offers.

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