Step 2: Assessment of application

QTAC will assess your application and your status can be tracked using the Current Applicant Online Services.

QTAC will notify successful applicants of their offer to study by email and SMS.

Successful applicants will also receive an offer pack in the mail from USC within three business days of the QTAC offer rounds.

The offer pack provides information about how to access USCCentral to accept your offer and enrol in your TPP courses.

Deferring your TPP place

Successful TPP applicants can defer the commencement of their studies for up to two years. This means your place can be held for you until you are ready to commence.

After the two year period has elapsed applicants must reapply via the QTAC process outlined above.

For information on how to commence your studies after deferment refer to how to take up your deferred place.
