An explanation of application stages
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 indicates you have been conditionally approved for admission to UNSW subject to supplying evidence of any required conditions. This can be one or more of a number of things including, anticipated academic results (with evidence of completion), English Proficiency, a copy of favourable Pre-Visa Assessment, correctly certified documents and any other matter preventing a full unconditional offer to be issued.
Once you are in the position of meeting all conditions and can provide all necessary documentation, you may commence the acceptance process outlined in your letter of offer.
Please note that Conditional Offers may not be available for all programs or made to all applicants.
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.
