My GPA 

Submitting my application 

Application process and offers 

My GPA

How can I calculate my GPA? keyboard_arrow_up

The GPA calculator can be used to determine your GPA for 2nd and 3rd year Psychology topics.

Can I do extra topics to increase my GPA to get into honours? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes, however, this is really only helpful for students who already have a good GPA and who have just missed out on a place. Undertaking one or two extra topics will only increase your GPA slightly. If you do more topics than are required to complete your degree, they would be classified as non-award and are likely to require up-front payment of fees.

Can I repeat topics I have already attempted to get a better grade to improve my GPA? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes, however, they don't replace the grade for the first attempt. Your GPA is calculated on all topics attempted (successfully or not) not just your best attempt.

Submitting my application

I am having issues with the student account activation process, who do I contact to get technical assistance? keyboard_arrow_up

If you are experiencing difficulties with the account activation process you can contact our helpdesk on 08 8201 2345 (option 4).

I have logged on to the Flinders Student Information System and my application is showing as ‘unassessed’, what does this mean? keyboard_arrow_up

The application portal will only show the final outcome of the application and until this is known it will continue to show as ‘unassessed’.

Do I need to provide an official transcript? keyboard_arrow_up

If you are an existing Flinders student, you don't need to provide a transcript. External applicants must upload a certified copy or original official academic transcript at the time of applying and for those pending current results an additional final transcript must be submitted by Wednesday 12 December 2018.

Can I submit my official academic transcript via My eQuals? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes, you will need to provide your URL link on the online application. If you have set a PIN you will also need to supply this, ensuring that the expiry date is after 4 Feb 2019. Further information can be found here. 

Application process and offers

I wasn’t successful in my application, am I able to get more information on the outcome? keyboard_arrow_up

If you have been unsuccessful in your application for the course and you wish to obtain more information than was provided in the correspondence notifying you of the outcome, you can email askflinders@flinders.edu.au. Advice on the outcome of applications will not be provided over the phone.

How will I be contacted about my application? keyboard_arrow_up

Correspondence is via email, it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure they regularly check their inbox (including the junk and clutter folders) and respond to any emails they receive.

Can I defer my place to the next year? keyboard_arrow_up

Deferment of an offer is not permitted. Applicants unable to commence the course in the current admission cycle are required to reapply.

Are late offers made if places are available? keyboard_arrow_up

Occasionally offers are issued in early January should any applicants decline first round offers.

Can I study the course externally? keyboard_arrow_up

No, the course is only available internally.

Do you have another question?

If you question isn't answered here, send us an enquiry.
