Application status

Your application to study at UNSW may be put into one of the following stages:

APPLICATION - this is the default stage for all applications that have been received by UNSW. It means that your application has been registered on the admissions database and is in the process of being assessed to see whether you are eligible to be made an offer to study.

WAITLIST - this stage is associated with applications that the University is currently unable to assess. If your application has this status, you should look at the Missing Requirements information page to see what you must send to the Admissions Office to allow your application to proceed. Please note, if you are being asked to provide information that is not yet available, for transcripts of your final year's study for example, you should provide this as soon as it becomes available. Your application will be kept on hold until these documents are received.

CONDITIONAL ADMIT - this means that you have met the academic requirements to be made an offer to study a particular program but you have not provided evidence of your English proficiency and/or, if necessary, a copy of a pre-visa assessment.

Once you have provided the required documentation, your application will be upgraded to an unconditional offer (see below).

Please note - you should not make any arrangements to come to UNSW until you have received a full and unconditional offer to study here. The University will NOT enrol students who have only been given a Conditional Offer.

Please also note that Conditional Offers may not be available for all programs.

ADMIT - this means that you have been made an offer to study. Congratulations. Please check the Missing Requirements page to see if you are required to provide additional information to complete your application. Please also check the Program that you have been made an offer for - you may have been offered a higher or a lower program than the one you applied for. Further details will be contained in the offer letter you have been sent
