Offers and preferences
To receive an early offer, you must list the March 2022 offering of an approved Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee degree as your first QTAC preference. It must be above any later offerings or any degrees that are not approved as part of the Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee scheme.
Let's assume you are applying for an early offer into the Bachelor of Business. Below are examples of how to, and how not to, order your preferences.
Having the Bachelor of Business MAR 22 offering as your first QTAC preference will ensure you can be made an early offer for Trimester 1, 2022.
| Preference | Degree | Offering |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bachelor of Business | MAR 22 |
| 2 | Bachelor of Arts | MAR 22 |
| 3 | Bachelor of Business | JUL 22 |
If you list a degree that is not part of the Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee scheme, eg the Bachelor of Medical Science, or a degree that you are not eligible for above a degree that is approved under the scheme, you won’t receive an early offer.
If you preference like this example, you would be considered for a place in the Bachelor of Medical Science for Trimester 1, 2022 in the QTAC offer round in January after your Year 12 results are released. If you did not receive an offer into the Bachelor of Medical Science, you would be considered for a place in the Bachelor of Business in the January offer round.
| Preference | Degree | Offering |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bachelor of Medical Science | MAR 22 |
| 2 | Bachelor of Business | MAR 22 |
| 3 | Bachelor of Arts | MAR 22 |
Your MAR 22 preference must also be above any JUL 22 preferences to receive an early offer. If you preference like this example, you won't receive an early offer. Instead, you would be considered for a place in the Bachelor of Business for Trimester 2, 2022 in the QTAC offer rounds in February after your Year 12 results are released.
| Preference | Degree | Offering |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bachelor of Business | JUL 22 |
| 2 | Bachelor of Business | MAR 22 |
| 3 | Bachelor of Arts | MAR 22 |
If you meet the requirements, and you list one of the eligible degrees as your first preference, you will receive your offer from QTAC on Friday 19 November, or on the 26 November or 9 December depending on when the assessment of your application was finalised.
For offers received on 19 November, you must respond by 4.00 pm on Friday 26 November 2021. For the 26 November and the 9 December offer rounds, you will have only four days to respond to your offer.
It's very important that you don’t ignore your early offer as it will lapse if you take no action, and you will not receive any further offers from QTAC. If you missed out on an offer on the 19 November, you may also be considered in the 26 November, or the 9 December offer rounds should you reorder your preferences and list your eligible degree as your first preference.
If you’re unsure about accepting your early offer, we suggest that you conditionally accept, which will allow you to reorder your QTAC preferences and be considered for other offers in December and January when your ATAR or IB Diploma results are known.
Reinstatement may be possible in limited circumstances. Email application@griffith.edu.au to request reinstatement. Your email must include “Year 12 Early Offer – Reinstatement Request” in the subject line.
Yes, you can defer your offer for a maximum of 1 year.
