Course application packet 2023
Version Details
- Version:
- 1.01
The course application packet is used to report direct applications made for admission into a higher education undergraduate award course at a Table A or Table B provider in the first study period of each year. The data collected through a course application packet is referenced by one or more:
- course preferences packets
- course offers packets.
Scope
Table A and Table B providers are required to report a course application packet for each valid application that has been directly and formally lodged with them by a domestic applicant where the application contains at least one preference for a Commonwealth supported place in a higher education undergraduate award course to commence in the first study period each year, except where the:
- citizen resident code (E358) is unknown at the time of the application
- application does not contain at least one valid preference
- application was cancelled by the institution because it was a duplicate, the applicant is known to be deceased, the applicant has falsified documentation, or other administrative reason
- application is from an applicant who is a non-commencing student seeking to register for their course after a lapsed enrolment or deferral and the application was not required for registration.
A course application packet may be reported for applications that:
- are from non-commencing students seeking to transfer between institutions, courses, courses of study, or who are required to register for their course following a lapsed enrolment or deferral
- cannot be processed because fees and charges have not been paid, the applicant has not signed or acknowledged the declaration, or the application has missing or insufficient documentation.
Reporting deadlines
The reference date for the 2023 University Applications and Offers Collection is 15 May 2023. The 2023 University Applications and Offers Collection is due in November 2023.
