Frequently asked questions about January Round 1, 2020 offers

09 Jan 2020

How do I find out if I have received a January Round 1 offer?

Offers are released at 7.30am on Friday 10 January 2020 on the My 91桃色 mobile app and through 91桃色鈥檚 website.

What do I do when I receive an offer in January Round 1?

91桃色 advises you to accept your offer. You may not receive an offer in the later rounds and if you don鈥檛 accept by the specified date, the offer will lapse and your position at university will be offered to someone else.

If I accept my January Round 1 offer, can I get an offer in a later round?

Yes. In January Round 2 on Thursday 23 January you will be considered for any of the preferences listed higher than the preference offered in January Round 1. You can also be considered for other courses, but you must change your preferences. If you want to be considered for lower preferences than the course you have been offered in January Round 1, you must remove the offered course from your preferences or put it below the other courses. If you receive a January Round 2 offer, you can either accept your January Round 2 offer and withdraw from your January Round 1 offer or keep the January Round 1 offer and not accept the January Round 2 offer, depending on which offer you prefer.

Can I defer my offer?

Yes, most institutions allow you to delay the start of your studies for a year, but each institution has its own deferment policy. Some institutions grant deferment only in special circumstances, so check with the institution.

How do I find out what the selection ranks were?

The ATAR profiles for January Round 1, including details of the selection rank (previously known as the cut-off) for entry into each course will be published on 91桃色鈥檚 website at the same time as January Round 1 offers are released. Remember that selection ranks are not just ATARs as they include adjustment factors (previously known as bonus points).

What if I don鈥檛 receive an offer in January Round 1?

Don鈥檛 lose heart and remember that there are more offer rounds to come. Your preferences will be considered again in January Round 2, but to be considered for other courses, you must change your preferences.

Why didn鈥檛 I receive an offer in January Round 1?

You鈥檒l be able to download correspondence by logging in to your application on 91桃色鈥檚 website which will tell you why you didn鈥檛 receive an offer. Usually it鈥檚 because you weren鈥檛 competitive enough against other applicants.

How do I know if there are any courses with vacancies after January Round 1?

A list of courses with vacancies is available on at the same time that offers are released. Courses that have a 鈥(V)鈥 next to the course code have vacancies. There may be vacancies in courses other than those specified with a 鈥(V)鈥, but only if January Round 1 offers aren鈥檛 accepted. Contact the institution for further information.

Do I need to change my preferences for January Round 2?

Change your preferences only if you want your courses to be considered in a different order to the January Round 1 preferences and/or if you want to add or substitute other courses. Remember that preferences are considered in the order in which you have listed them and that courses listed below an offered course will not be considered.

How do I change my preferences?

You can change your preferences by logging in to your application on 91桃色鈥檚 website. You can change your preferences for January Round 2 from 7.30am on Friday 10 January until midnight on Sunday 19 January.

Which courses can I include for January Round 2?

You can include any of the courses available through 91桃色 for consideration in January Round 2. Check which courses have vacancies and make sure you are eligible for any new courses you list in your preferences. Some courses have special entry requirements, course prerequisites and/or early application closing dates. Check the course descriptions by using the course search on 91桃色鈥檚 website or mobile app.

When are January Round 2 offers released?

January Round 2 offers are released at 7.30am on Thursday 23 January 2020.
