Frequently asked questions

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

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?

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?

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?

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.
