An offer round is when you are notified by SATAC with a formal offer to study. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t receive an offer. Please contact 1300 354 633 or askflinders@flinders.edu.au for advice. 

Important dates:

SATAC will notify you of your offer by email. If you’ve received an offer to your first preference, this will automatically be accepted on your behalf. If you received an offer to a lower preference you must respond accordingly. If you don’t, SATAC will assume you don’t want to be considered for higher preferences. 

Follow the instructions in your SATAC offer letter to begin the enrolment process. It is important to follow the instructions in your offer letter. If you do not follow these instructions your offer may lapse. Now is a good time to check the range of scholarships available to Flinders students.

If you receive an offer to your first preference you don’t need to accept your offer as this will be done automatically by SATAC on your behalf. However, if you wish to reject this offer you will need to do so by logging into your application on the SATAC website and changing your response.

We encourage you to accept (or defer) your Flinders offer ASAP so you can begin the enrolment process prior to Orientation Week. However, it is important that you read your SATAC offer letter carefully and abide by any lapse dates.

Once you receive an offer it’s a great time to look into our range of scholarships available to Flinders students.

You will only receive one offer in each offer round.

You can log into your SATAC application and select ‘accept but be considered for a higher preference’. This will ensure that you will still be considered for any preferences listed above the course you were offered in later offer rounds. If you have further questions about your preferences, contact us to discuss your options and work out what’s best for your situation. Chat to one of our student advisors over the phone (1300 354 633), via the live chat function on this page or come in for one-to-one appointment. You can also email us at askflinders@flinders.edu.au for advice. 

If you receive an offer to your first preference in the main December offer round, you will not receive offers to your lower preferences in subsequent offer rounds. If you wish to be considered for your lower preferences in later offer rounds, you will need to rearrange your preferences so that the courses you wish to be considered for are listed above your original offer. You will then need to change your offer status to ‘I accept/reject my offer but wish to be considered for higher preferences.

Provided you do not proceed to the enrolment stage your offer will be deferred on your behalf. However if you receive a Flinders offer to one of the following courses, you will be required to either Accept and Enrol or Defer by a deadline as stated in your offer letter to secure your place in the course. Please read your offer letter carefully.
