Accept, defer or decline your offer
Once you have received your offer to UOW, it is important to let us know if you want to accept, defer or decline your offer. How you do this depends on what kind of student you are and how you applied.
Direct and mature age applicants
Accept or decline
If you applied directly to UOW, you can accept or decline your offer by completing the offer acceptance form.
Deferral
You can defer your offer to study at UOW for up to one year. You will have to complete a UOW deferral request after you've received your offer from UOW. Once you submit your deferral request, we'll send you a new offer and information on how to enrol.
UAC and Early Admission offers (undergraduate students)
Accept or decline
You do not need to accept your Early Admission offer(s). UOW will load any offers you receive through Early Admission, via UAC or directly from UOW, into our admissions system. When Autumn session enrolment opens in early December 2024, you will be able to enrol in your preferred course. We will send you more details on enrolment closer to the time.
To accept an offer made through a UAC offer round, follow the instructions sent to you by Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) or visit the UAC offers website.
Deferral
You can defer your offer to study at UOW by up to one year. You will have to complete a UOW deferral request after you've received your UOW Student Number. Your student number will be emailed to you later in the year. Once you submit your deferral request, we'll send you a new offer and information on how to enrol.
Please note: if you defer, you don't have to reapply though UAC to activate your offer. All deferred offers are handled directly by the UOW Admissions team.
