I have received my offer to study, what do I do next?

Updated 25/08/2023 02.58 PM

Your first step is to action your offer by either accepting, rejecting or deferring. 

International students
If you applied to the University of Tasmania via StudyLink Connect, follow these steps:

  • Read through your Letter of Offer and attached documents and ensure you are able to comply with the requirements, terms, and conditions
  • Login to the University of Tasmania Apply Online Service
  • Go to your submitted application with the status "Offer Made"
  • Under "Actions" go to "Respond to Offer"
  • Check your Offer Details and "Accept Offer"
  • Pay the commencement fee detailed.

If you are an agent, the following are the steps to accept a student's offer via StudyLink Connect.

Domestic Students

  • Log into our Applications portal.
  • Under the ‘Offers’ tab, you will have the option to view and respond to your offer.

Multiple offers
You can accept multiple offers and take your time (up to the census date of the study period) to decide which course you want to pursue. You are only required to pay fees after the census date for your study period, which gives you time to decide on your course and enrol in your units.

Preferences

  • If you receive an offer for your highest preference but would like to be considered for your lower preferences, respond to the offer and then reorder your existing preferences. Ensure your preferred course is at the top of the list. You can do this in the 'Manage your application' tab in the Applications portal. If you respond to your first preference offer but don't reorder your preferences, you won't be considered for any other courses you have applied for.
  • If you accept an offer for a lower preference, you will continue to be assessed for offers for all higher preferences (according to course entry requirements).

Conditional offers
You may be sent an offer requesting that you meet one or more requirements before you are allowed to enrol. This is called a conditional offer, and the details will be included in your letter of offer. Once you have demonstrated that you have met the conditions, you will receive confirmation that you can enrol in your units. 

Offer for a course that you didn't apply for
Sometimes you may be sent an offer for a course that you didn't apply for. Your letter of offer will detail the reasons why you have received this. Check your letter of offer in the Applications portal

If you would like to speak to someone about your application or you are having any difficulties, call 138827 (13 UTAS) / +61 3 6226 6200 or send us your question online.

Once you have accepted your offer, you will receive your University of Tasmania login details: email address, username, and initial password.
