How do I defer my offer?

If you receive an offer to Flinders but you do not wish to commence studying straight away, you can request to have your offer deferred to a start date in the next semester (half-year intake) or subsequent semester (half-year intake).

Your request will be sent to your College of application, for decision, and you will be notified of the outcome by email in due course.

 

 

If you simply wish to change the start date on your offer letter to earlier or later in the same semester (half-year intake), contact us at the email address on your offer letter, nominating your new start date. Do not formally apply to defer.

 

To formally apply to defer your offer, you need to:
1.    Discuss with your supervisor first, to confirm you have their approval to delay the project start date: It is good to have evidence of their approval in writing.
2.    Log in to the Student System.
3.    Select the ‘My Offers’ tab.
4.    Click on the ‘View/Respond to my Offer’ link on the left-hand menu.
5.    The ‘My Applications’ window will display all offers awaiting a response.
6.    Click on ‘Respond’ for the offer you wish to Defer

 

 

You may be able to defer the commencement of your course until the following intake based on compassionate or compelling grounds. This is subject to University approval. 

Applications for deferral will be reassessed according to the University's Genuine Temporary Entrant and Genuine Student guidelines.

 

You need to: 
1.    Discuss with your supervisor first, to confirm you have their approval to delay the project start date: It is good to have evidence of their approval in writing.
