Enrolment for 2018

All students who have an offer for 2018 have been provided with the instructions accept, defer (UG only) or decline their offer. Offers emails are sent to their personal email address.

Returning Students

Admissions have processed over 900 requests from students to return from deferment and commence their studies in Semester 1 2018. Return from deferment requests (CD Forms) will continue to be processed as they are received.

Withdrawing Offers

Due to low applicant demand, the University has suspended some course offerings for 2018.

The Admissions team have advised all TAC applicants for these courses to change their preference.

All students who had received an offer for a suspended course have been advised by email and an alternative course has been suggested. Admissions are issuing alternative offers as appropriate for students who had applied via a TAC, Direct application, return from deferment, readmission and course/campus transfer and alternative entry schemes.

The following courses have been withdrawn to date:

Transfer Requests

Over 1,300 requests to transfer course and/or campus have been received to date.

Admissions are currently processing all remaining transfer applications in the order they were received and aim to have all requests finalised before class allocation opens in early February. Where a student has a deferred exam or an outstanding grade, the transfer request will be resolved as soon as a grade is available.

Transfer applications for an ITE course cannot be assessed until a Teacher Selector Statement has been submitted via the new online TS form. Students in this situation have been advised of this requirement by email.

Transfer applications for Semester One 2018 have closed in Student Connect. All students wanting to submit a late application should email admissions@acu.edu.au or Ask ACU.
