How do I accept an offer?UAC applicants: If you received an offer through UAC you must accept your offer on-line at http://www.uac.edu.au/. To accept online please click on "For instructions on how to respond to your offer" from the UAC offer page and follow the prompts. Accepting an offer does not stop you from being considered in subsequent offer rounds (unless it is your first preference, in which case you would have to change your preferences to be considered for another course - go to www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/faq/change-preference.shtml for more information). You do not need to send in the acceptance slip attached to the bottom of your offer letter - we will collect this from you on Enrolment Day. Please ensure that you bring your "Offer of Admission" letter with you when you attend Enrolment Day.

To access the on-line deferment application, click here. Once you have lodged your request you will receive an automated reply confirming the receipt of your deferment application. Please note: if your course of study includes a TAFE component, you should also contact the relevant TAFE campus to advise them of your request to defer.
The University will send you a new offer letter, signifying that your deferment has been approved, and it will indicate your new commencement date. Your offer letter will be emailed to you as an attachment after 31 March therefore it is important that you check your email address regularly during this time.

You will receive advice about planning your course, timetable and other information to help you get started with your degree.

Your offer will be for a specific campus and you are expected to enrol into subjects offered at that campus. Restrictions may also apply to enrolment in subjects for degrees or faculties other than that for which you have received an offer. Talk to an academic adviser on Enrolment Day for further advice.
Choosing your subjects
Faculties either run information sessions on Enrolment Day to assist you with your subject selection or have academic advisers available to offer one-to-one assistance to choose your subjects. On Enrolment Day you should arrive at the time indicated for your degree so that you have sufficient time to collect your enrolment package and move onto the relevant venue.
Subject Numbers
100, 200, 300 and 400 level subjects refer to first, second, third and fourth year subjects respectively. For example: ACCY111 refers to the subject “Accounting Fundamentals in Society” which is a first year subject.
You can undertake subjects at any level, in any particular year, providing you have met the prerequisites for that subject. For example, in your third year of study you may be taking 100-level and 200-level subjects as well as 300-level subjects. Normally, in your first year at University you would enrol in 100-level subjects Managing your enrolment
As a student at the University of Wollongong you will complete your initial enrolment online in one of our computer labs. There will be enrolment helpers to assist you through the process on Enrolment Day.
After enrolling, you are responsible to ensure that you are correctly enrolled at all times. This involves making sure that you enrol in subjects at the appropriate times and withdraw before session census dates from any subjects you no longer wish to study, thus ensuring you do not incur fees for the subject. To allow you to manage your enrolment, you will have access via Student OnLine Services (SOLS). You will be given information about SOLS and how to self manage your enrolment on enrolment.
