Will I be told if I'm not successful?

What are my options if I'm not successful?

There are many ways into ACU. IF you are not successful, you can still apply for tertiary admission via your state's standard application process through VTAC, UAC or QTAC. You should also explore our other admission pathways to see if any suit you.

Can I change my preferences and try again if I'm unsuccessful?

Yes, you can change your preferences at any time until ACU Guarantee applications close. You simply log back into the portal.

Can I defer an ACU Guarantee offer?

Yes, you can defer your offer for up to one year.

Will my offer expire?

Your offer will expire if you do not either:

• enrol for Semester 1
• defer your offer.

What's the earliest I can enrol if I get an offer in September?

Enrolment opens in early October and we will send you an email when you can enrol. If you live in Victoria, you will be able to enrol once you have received your offer to ACU from VTAC.
