Accepting your offer

Step 1: Your offer

If you have received an offer from SATAC

If your application to study at Flinders University is successful, you will receive an email with your offer letter from SATAC on behalf of Flinders.

• If you have received an offer to your first preference, this will automatically be accepted on your behalf in your SATAC application. You will still need to proceed to Step 2 to formally accept the offer with Flinders.
• If you received an offer to a lower preference, you will be required to respond to the offer via SATAC to indicate you accept and still wish to be considered for your higher preference(s). If you don’t, SATAC will assume you don’t want to be considered for higher preferences. You cannot be considered for your higher preferences until you respond to your offer.
• If you are a postgraduate applicant, you do not need to respond to your offer in your SATAC application as this is done automatically for you.

It is important to read your offer letter carefully as it contains important information about how to accept your offer and may include an enrolment deadline to secure your place in your course.

If you have received your offer direct from Flinders University

If your application to study at Flinders University is successful, you will receive an email with your offer letter directly from Flinders.

It is important to read your offer letter as it contains important information about how to accept your offer and may include an enrolment deadline to secure your place in your course.

Step 3: Enable multi-factor authentication

After you have accepted your offer (following the steps outlined above), 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.

*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.

Step 3: Pay your deposit

Your initial payment is due once you have accepted your Offer of Admission. You will be redirected to the Western Union 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.

Step 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.
