Talking about your offer options is helpful

What happens when you receive a postgrad offer?

Author: Caitlin Ganter

So, you’ve applied for a postgraduate degree and your application was successful. Congratulations! Here’s what you need to know once you’ve received an offer.

Step 1: Read your offer

If you applied directly to ACU, you will receive an offer email which includes all the information you need to complete the enrolment process. An offer will always be in the form of written notice and should outline what course the offer is for and on which campus. Check your spam/junk folder if you can’t find the email in your inbox.

Step 2: Accept your offer and enrol

After you’ve received an offer, you need to accept it by enrolling in your course. These steps will be clearly outlined in your offer email. At ACU, you’ll enrol through our Student Portal and follow a series of guided steps to confirm important details and complete your enrolment.

You should also look for your Course Enrolment Guide (which is accessible via Student Connect and the Student Portal). It contains key information such as your course map, electives and subject/unit information. This will help to explain what subjects/units you’ll be studying and when.

Step 3: Creating your timetable

So you’ve enrolled in your units – but you still need to select the times you will attend classes.

ACU uses a preference system to allocate classes fairly. There are set dates when preferences ‘open’ and you can log in to our timetabling program to submit your preferred class times. You’ll be provided with an automatically generated timetable based on your preferences and class availability, and if you don’t get the classes you want, you can then request a class swap.

If there are mitigating circumstances as to why you cannot attend particular class times, you can contact the lecturer in charge of that unit to see if you can be allocated to your requested time slot.

Learn more about timetabling.

Still have questions? Our AskACU team can help. Search FAQs, live chat, call, SMS or email – whatever is convenient for you. Ask a question.
