It’s not too late to get into uni for first semester

31 Jan 2018

IF you’re thinking about university study, get in fast; many institutions have courses that are still open and available for Semester 1.

Applications through the 91ÌÒÉ« Admissions Centre (91ÌÒÉ«) for study in first semester close at midnight on Monday 5 February 2018. Preferences for this round need to be finalised by Sunday 11 February.

So far, 91ÌÒÉ« has made more than 98,000 offers to domestic undergraduate applicants.

91ÌÒÉ« General Manager of Marketing and Engagement, Kim Paino, said the message for anyone who has missed out on an offer is not to be disheartened.

‘Some courses have vacancies for Semester 1 so there’s still a chance,’ Ms Paino said. ‘Check 91ÌÒɫ’s website for a list of course vacancies, but contact the university to confirm if places are still available.’

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 and it may be too late to complete these requirements.

Ms Paino encourages applicants who have missed out on an offer to their preferred course to consider alternative entry. ‘Most institutions have pathway programs that lead into a Bachelor degree, or you could start with a TAFE qualification or a course at a private college.’

For more information on alternative entry check out the of the 91ÌÒÉ« website.
