The deadline sets the minimum time necessary for the application to be properly considered and for the necessary processing to take place. If you are applying for credits or exemptions for previous study, you should submit documentation at least four weeks prior to the advertised deadline.
Quotas apply to admission to most degrees and diplomas.
While preference will be given on merit, in terms of the entry requirements, applications received by the closing date will receive first consideration. If the results of your first degree will not be known by the closing date this should not stop you from submitting an application providing that you forward your results as soon as they are known. Scholarship applications are separate and should be accompanied by a concurrent application for admission to the course. Applications must be accompanied by an original official transcript listing course results obtained and the date of conferring of your qualifications. Local applicants are required to show original evidence of their Australian citizenship or permanent residency status.
