Troubleshooting your undergraduate application

Understanding evaluation statuses

To understand where the assessment of your application is up to, please see the evaluation status information below.

Statuses that require your action

This status generates automatically based on the information completed in the form and need for the associated supporting documents to commence the assessment process.

Please check your application to see what information is missing. For example, you may have indicated work experience but not attached a CV.

Check that any documents you have uploaded are uploaded under the correct document type.

Once the Admissions Team has assessed your application, they may request additional supporting documentation.

You will receive an email requesting you provide the additional supporting documentation to recommence the assessment process. Check the Supporting documentation website for more information.

We are working on your application

Your application is being checked to ensure it is complete and has all the required information and supporting documents. The time this can take depends on when your application is lodged.

Your application is deemed complete and ready for the Admissions Team to review.

The Admissions Team is currently working on your application and will update the evaluation status when their assessment is completed.

If you have been asked to complete a questionnaire or statement your application will be held in review until we have received your results.

Your application requires the Program Directors' assessment or may include the scheduling of an interview or audition.

A decision has been made about your application and you will usually be emailed the outcome in two to three working days.

However, in some instances, your application may need to be held after the evaluation is complete. If this is the case, you will see the evaluation status updated in two to three days.

If you withdraw your application or change the order of your preferences, the status of that application or preference will be cancelled.

We are holding your application

If you apply for a competitive or quota managed program, we may need to hold your application until we know the number of places available. We may also hold your application if you are assessed as being just below the current minimum ATAR /selection rank.

Your application may not be finalised until the majority offers have been made into your chosen program and the final minimum ATAR /selection rank is confirmed.

Your application contains all of the information we require, and we are now awaiting the outcome of your interview or audition.

Your application is pending submission of a portfolio and/or attendance and interview.

If you are currently enrolled in a course at Griffith or another institution, your application is being held until we can see your most recent exam results and GPA .

This is important if the undergraduate program you are applying for requires grades from your completed study to be calculated before a decision can be made.

This status displays on your application's second and third preference, as we work through your first preference.
