Secure your place at UC: Your next steps

In order to secure your place at the University, you must first undertake a GTE assessment. Once you have successfully completed
the GTE assessment process you will be able to accept your offer, pay the acceptance fee, and in turn receive your CoE, which is
required to apply for a student visa.

Step 1: Complete the GTE assessment

A separate email will be forwarded to you with a link inviting you to complete the University's online GTE assessment form. This
must be completed and submitted to allow the University to progress your application. The University undertakes assessments of
all prospective students in accordance with the Department of Home Affairs’ (DoHA) Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE)
requirements. The University may request additional documentation from you in order to undertake a GTE assessment. You will
be notified of the outcome of that assessment within 10 working days of submitting your online form and providing all required
documentation.

Only applicants who pass the University's GTE assessment will be able to proceed with the next steps to finalise their acceptance
of the offer. Please also note that passing the University's GTE assessment does not guarantee the grant of a student visa.

Step 2: Respond to your offer

Accept your offer
If you are a direct applicant you should accept your offer online through the UC Online Application Portal.

towards your tuition fees and as such, the acceptance fee does not necessarily reflect the tuition fees for your first period of study. Once you have
enrolled, it is your responsibility to check your statement of account for each study period you are enrolled in and ensure you have paid any
outstanding amounts prior to week 1 of that study period. Your statement can be downloaded from MyUC

I, Satyam Soni, student ID: 3291198, wish to accept the offer from the University of Canberra (UC) to study Bachelor of Commerce
(Accounting) as stated in the offer letter dated 15 April 2024 and by accepting this written agreement, I understand and accept that:

1. The documents I have provided to support my application are true and correct. The University reserves the right to withdraw
my admission or terminate my enrolment where false or misleading information has been provided.
2. The course information and indicative fees are correct as of the date of this offer letter. International tuition fees are
reviewed annually and are likely to increase. I am required to pay the set annual fee applicable for the year in which I am
enrolled.
3. The annual and total tuition fees I am required to pay may vary from what is presented in my offer letter and my CoE and the
actual tuition fee charged each semester may differ depending on the units in which I am enrolled in each semester.
4. The expected course start and end dates in this letter of offer are correct as at the date this offer was issued. Circumstances
may arise where the University - in its absolute discretion - may amend these dates. In these cases, in accordance with the
University’s Statutes and Rules and the relevant legislation, the University will do the following:
a. Notify me via email of:
i. the changes to my course(s) start and end dates, the reason(s) for any changes and any additional impacts any such
changes may have, for instance, on my fees or study; and
ii. the need to seek advice from the Department of Home Affairs on the potential impact such changes may have on
my visa.
b. Make the appropriate changes to my enrolment information and report the enrolment changes to the Department of
Education and Training.
5. In the event that the University is unable to deliver the course indicated in the offer letter, I will be notified in writing.
Where available, an alternative course will be offered and I will have the option to either accept or reject the new offer. If no
alternative course is available or I choose not to accept the alternative course offered, the University will provide assistance
with releasing me to an alternative provider. If I am not continuing my study with the University of Canberra, I will be entitled

6. Circumstances may arise where the University needs to change the delivery mode of a course for a period of time, for
instance, from face-to-face delivery to online or distance learning delivery. If I am unhappy with the change of delivery mode,
I may apply for a deferment or a leave of absence for the period of the delivery mode change, which will be assessed by the

decision to grant or refuse a deferment or leave of absence is at the absolute discretion of the University taking into account
all relevant factors at the time of the application.
7. If the delivery mode of a course is changed to online delivery or distance learning, I am not in Australia, and the University

need a student visa in order to study my course online or by distance learning. However, at all times, including when the
delivery mode of a course changes to on-campus study, I am responsible for ensuring I understand Australian visa
requirements and when required will obtain the relevant visa in order to travel to Australia to study at the University. If I am
unable to obtain the required visa, the University may not be able to continue to deliver the course to me online or by
