Step 5

When you receive your offer letter from Griffith University, read it carefully and check that all of the personal details, such as your name, date of birth, plus your program of study and duration are correct. To assist you with this process you can download a copy of 2012 Guide to Accepting your Griffith Offer.

If successful you will receive either

• an unconditional offer, or
• a conditional offer

If you receive a conditional offer, this means that you need to provide further information or you need to meet some conditions before you can be accepted.

Some common offer conditions include:

1. Academic conditions - completion of your current studies or the obtaining of certain grades. To show that these conditions have been met you will need to send the university certified copies of official certificates from the institution. It should state that you have completed the program or qualification. (A certified copy is a photocopy of an original document with an official stamp signature of a person approved to certify documents - e.g. an official agent, a Justice of the Peace, a university registrar, a police officer, an examining authority)
2. English Language Proficiency requirements –you must provide certified copies of your IELTS or TOEFL results to the International Office before acceptance. The test must be no more than 2 years old at the date of your application. DIAC will only accept IELTS scores from applicants from level 3-4 countries.
