Offers and enrolments

Graduate coursework study

If your application is successful, you'll receive an official offer email from the University with instructions on how to accept your offer and enrol in your course online. You can choose to accept, defer or decline your offer.

Accept your offer

If your offer is conditional, you'll need to meet the conditions of your offer before accepting it. Once you have the documentation to meet your offer condition you can upload the documentation directly into your application. Instructions on how to upload your documentation can be found here.

If you have been sent an unconditional offer, you can choose to accept it online immediately.

To accept your offer online, you will need to complete and submit your Student Acceptance and Payment Agreement, where you will pay your tuition fee deposit and Overseas Student Health Cover payment. After your acceptance agreement and payment has been processed you will receive a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from the University. You will need your CoE to apply for your student visa.
