Accepting your offer

You’ve set up your Flinders account! You're now ready to review your offer. 

It is important you follow the steps outlined here and in your offer letter to secure your place in your course.

Some courses allow you to start the enrolment process without accepting the offer first.

Please ensure that you make a selection in the drop down above with what type of student you are to see the steps below.

Before you start you will need: 

tick

your offer letter  

your activated FAN.  

  • your offer letter  
  • your activated FAN.

What is the Student System?

The Student System is Flinders University's main platform for student management. Use it to:

  • Update personal details
  • Enroll in topics
  • Register for classes
  • View and pay fees
  • Apply for scholarships
  • Transfer courses

You can access the Student System at any time using your FAN and password. 

Task 1: Accept your offer

 5 mins

Getting an offer from SATAC or the University doesn't mean your spot at Flinders is guaranteed – you need to officially accept the offer for most courses. If you are offered a lower preference course, SATAC will keep your higher preferenced courses active, even if you accept your offer with Flinders.

Offers may take up to 24 hours to appear in the Student System. If your offer does not appear, please try again later. Read your offer letter carefully for important details, including any enrolment deadlines to secure your place in your course.

Follow these steps to formally accept your offer

  1. Access the Student System
  2. Select the 'My Offers' tab
  3. Click on the 'View/Respond to my Offer' link on the left-hand menu 
  4. The 'My Applications' window will display all offers awaiting a response
  5. Click on 'Respond' for the offer you wish to accept

Can't find your offer in the Student System? keyboard_arrow_up

SATAC offers

If you received an offer to a lower preference, SATAC will accept the offer on your behalf and show that you still want to be considered for your higher preferences. You will still need to go to the ‘Accept offer’ page to formally accept the offer with Flinders.

Still need help with SATAC offers or direct offers from Flinders University?

Whether you've received a SATAC or direct offer and need support accepting your offer please contact us – we're here to answer all your questions.

Don't want to start studying straight away?

If you don't want to start studying straight away, you might be able to start in the next available intake or defer your offer for a full calendar year of study. We can hold your place in a deferrable course for up to two consecutive years. See more information about deferring.

Task 2: Set up multi-factor authentication

 5 mins

Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your mobile device. MFA adds an extra layer of security to your Flinders account by requiring a second form of verification in addition to your password.

We strongly recommend setting up MFA on more than one device. This ensures you have a backup in case you don't have your mobile device with you, or if it is lost or broken.

Set up MFA

Completed the steps above?

Congratulations – you've been admitted into your course!🎉🎉

Task 1: Your offer

If your application to study at Flinders University is successful, you will receive an Offer of Admission to a course at Flinders. Your offer will be emailed to you. You can also view it in our International Application System if you applied yourself, or your agent will have a copy if you applied via an agent.

If you would like to defer your offer, please refer to the information below.

Undergraduate

If you applied for an undergraduate degree, you will have received an Offer of Admission for the highest preference for which you were qualified.

Postgraduate

If you applied for a postgraduate course (Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, Masters, or PhD), you may receive a pathway Offer of Admission.

Your offer letter explained

On campus students

Distance students

Task 2: Accept your offer

To accept your Offer of Admission, you need to indicate this through our International Application System. Please ensure you upload your signed acceptance form along with any other documents requested as part of your offer. Failure to attach all of the relevant information may result in a delay in processing your acceptance.

Some courses may require you to accept your offer by a deadline and this information will be confirmed in your offer letter.

The Flinders International Admissions team will review these documents and advise of any further required documentation.

Task 3: Pay your deposit

Your initial payment is due once you have accepted your Offer of Admission. You will be redirected to the Convera Payment Gateway once you accept your offer in our International Application System. Your Offer of Admission will contain details regarding how much your initial payment will be.

Some courses may require you to pay your deposit by a deadline. This information will be confirmed in your offer letter.

At this time, you must also pay your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) visa. If you are pre-arranging your own OSHC, please ensure you provide evidence to us as soon as possible.

After you have made your initial payment, remaining payments must be made by the topic due date. Students are charged per topic, based on their enrolment.

Task 4: Activate your FAN

Once your payment has been processed, we will issue you with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). Once you have received this, you will be able to activate your FAN (Flinders username) to start accessing University systems and services.

Your FAN is unique to you. Your FAN and password give you access to IT services, like email, the Student System and Flinders WiFi.

Task 5: Enable multi-factor authentication

After you have activated your FAN, you are required to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your mobile device to increase the security of your Flinders’ account.

We strongly recommend you set up MFA on multiple devices, so you also have a backup if you don't have your mobile device on you, or in emergencies such as a lost or broken device. 

Follow the link below to enable MFA on multiple devices and for answers to frequently asked questions.

Enable MFA

*Note if you do not do this step now, you will be prompted to do this next time you go to log in to a Flinders University system. 

Task 6: Apply for your visa

Once your payment has been processed, we will issue you with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). You must have a CoE to apply for a visa.

If you do not provide a complete visa application including your CoE, OSHC Verification Letter, a detailed statement of purpose and other required documentation at time of lodgement it may result in your visa application being delayed or refused.

Visit the Department of Immigration and Border Protection's Visa Finder to find the Australian visa most likely to meet your specific circumstances. To lodge a complete application for prompt assessment, please refer to the visa application information page.

An education agent may help you prepare a student visa application.

Task 7: Prepare for your departure

The international student guides contain information you need to know about making preparations for life in Australia, and studying at Flinders.

Once Flinders has received your tuition fee payment, you will receive a copy of the pre-departure guide.

Once you have confirmed your flight, please advise the International Student Services team of your arrival details by completing the arrival booking form. They will arrange to meet you at Adelaide Airport to welcome you to Adelaide and to take you to your accommodation.

Frequently asked questions

I accepted an offer from Flinders but have now accepted an offer for a higher preference. What do I do? keyboard_arrow_up

If you have enrolled in the course you were initially offered, ensure you withdraw from all topics before the census date to avoid incurring student contribution fees and a negative academic record.

I have received an offer from another university, but am waiting to see if Flinders offers me my higher preference. Should I accept the lower preference just in case I don't get an offer from Flinders? keyboard_arrow_up

Your preferences should include any and all courses for which you would accept an offer to study. While we’d love for you to study with us, if you get an offer to a lower preference at another university, you should accept the offer. However, when accepting the offer, remember to indicate that you still wish to be considered for your higher Flinders University preference(s). This will ensure you secure a place in a course you want to study, while keeping your options open.

I have received an offer with conditions I need to meet. What happens next? keyboard_arrow_up

Some applicants are made offers to a course on a conditional basis. The details of the condition(s) will be stated in your offer letter.
Conditions may include the requirement to complete the course you are currently enrolled in by a deadline and/or to maintain or achieve a certain Grade Point Average.

Applicants with a conditional offer will not be able to enrol in topics in the course until the condition has been met as per the details stated in the offer letter.

What if I don't want to accept my offer? keyboard_arrow_up

If you wish to be considered for another course, you need to respond to your offer through SATAC if it is not your first preference and/or change your preferences. 

Alternatively, if your offer was made directly from the University, return to the Student System and submit another application for your preferred course.
