Applying on time is important. If you lodge an application for a course after a closing date you will be affected in one or more ways: you may have to pay a late fee, your application may not be given equal consideration or you may not be considered at all.
For a full list of important dates see SATAC's key dates page.
Early closing date for semester 1 courses - The early closing date for almost all semester 1 courses is 28 September 2018. All applicants must pay a late fee if applying for these courses after this date.
Courses with final closing dates - The final closing date for Creative Arts (Drama) at Flinders University (course code 214561) is 28 September 2018. Applications for these courses received after 30 September will not be considered.
The final closing date for Medicine at Flinders University (course code 214941) is early December. Applications for this course received after the early December closing date will not be considered.
Equal consideration closing dates for semester 1 courses - The equal consideration closing date for almost all semester 1 courses is early December. If you apply for these courses after 30 September but by the early December closing date, you will still be given equal consideration provided you pay the late fee.
Applying after the early December closing date for semester 1 courses - You may still apply for most semester 1 courses after early December but the consequences are:
- you must pay a late fee
- for some courses there may be no offers at all to late applicants
- if offers are made to late applicants, they will almost certainly be in February, not in the January offer rounds
- you may not be given equal consideration in the selection process, i.e. you may not receive an offer even if your selection rank is equal to or higher than that of an applicant who received an offer to the same course in the main January round.
Flinders University normally decides early in November whether it will extend the closing date beyond early December for courses, however if you wish apply after this date you should contact either SATAC or contact us before doing so.
