Received an offer?

Congratulations on receiving your offer!

We look forward to seeing you at UNSW. But first, you need to accept your offer. Accepting your offer is a simple process. The kind of offer you received from UNSW determines the process you need to follow.

Go to Getting Started for detailed information. Or select your offer type below for an overview of the acceptance process.

*If you are a sponsored student, you have a different process to follow. Head to the Sponsored students page to learn more.

Create your UniPass

If you have not done so already, create your UniPass. This is a temporary pass given to all new students to access myUNSW which is where you accept your offer and enrol in classes.

Accept your offer

Accept before the deadline as stated on your letter of offer to secure a place in the degree. Learn how to accept your offer at gettingstarted.unsw.edu.au.

Do you want to defer? You can defer or delay starting your degree for up to 2 years. Follow the process to accept your offer and you will be taken to the myUNSW site where you will have the option to defer. UNSW will process your request and you will be emailed a new offer.

Confirm your personal details

Take a few minutes to check that your full legal name is correct (as it appears on your official identity documentation; e.g. passport).

Pay your tuition fee deposit

To accept your offer, most international applicants are required to pay a tuition fee deposit. If you are unable to pay the deposit online, please contact the Admissions Office via enquiry.unsw.edu.au for alternative payment methods.

After receiving payment, we will send you your electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE).

Enrol in courses

Finalise your acceptance and then you are ready to enrol. If Enrolment is open, proceed to enrol in your courses.

Check your conditional offer letter

So you don’t miss out on a place, it is important that you provide us with your supporting documents as soon as possible. Refer to your conditional offer letter for details about the documents required.

If your English language result does not meet the minimum requirements for admission, we have English language courses on campus that can help you.

Upload your documents

You can track your application and upload supporting documents using the Application Tracking Portal.

Some students may be required to provide certified copies of their supporting documents. Read more about the certification of documents. If requested, you must be prepared to present your original documents to UNSW after you have enrolled.

We respond with a full offer

If your supporting documents are verified and you meet the requirements for your program, we will send you a full offer.

Accept your full offer

Once you receive your full offer to study, go to the full offer checklist on this page for next steps.

Accommodation

Do you know where you are going to live? There are a range of on campus and off campus accommodation options available to UNSW international students. But places go quickly, so send in your application as soon as possible. Finding a private sharing arrangement or your own place is best done once you have landed. Give yourself at least 2-3 weeks to find a place.

More about student support

From picking you up from the airport, running new arrival workshops and taking you on campus tours, we make sure you feel orientated, safe and well connected. Our dedicated Welcome Centre is available to help you find all the information you need to settle in.
Student Development International

Student Development International offers activities and programs to help international students adapt to life in Australia. These include day trips, short holidays and community exchange programs.

On arrival, get matched with a peer mentor. A peer mentor is an experienced student who can give you insights about your faculty as well as tips on how to adjust to student life.
