Lock in your study plans sooner

To give you certainty about your future, we’ve developed a way for you to receive an offer to study at Griffith before you receive your ATAR or IB diploma results. We will also be making early offers to students who are completing a VET qualification this year or have successfully completed a Griffith Head Start (GUESTS) program.

Key dates

1 August: Applications open via QTAC for entry into Queensland tertiary institutions.

Offers will be made to eligible applicants between September and November 2024. As soon as you submit your documentation, you'll be considered in one of the offer rounds listed. If you can’t provide your documentation until late October because your IA3 results aren’t in the QCAA portal yet, that’s completely ok. We will continue to make early offers for all eligible programs until the 15 November offer round.

14 October: Final date to apply, to be eligible for an early offer.

31 October: Final date to submit supporting documentation for the main offer round on 15 November.

11 November: Last day to change your preferences to your preferred degree.

Offers and preferences

How should I order my QTAC preferences?

To receive an early offer, you must list the March 2025 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’re 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 25 offering as your first QTAC preference will ensure you can be made an early offer for Trimester 1 2025.

If you list a degree that is not part of the Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee scheme, e.g., 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 the example below, you would be considered for a place in the Bachelor of Medical Science for Trimester 1 2025 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.

When will I receive my early offer?

If you are receiving an offer under our ATAR/IB Early stream it is most likely that you will receive this offer on 15 November 2024, once you have your QCAA documentation which includes your IA3 results. If you should have this earlier however, we may be able to make you an offer on 6 September or 18 October 2024.

f you are receiving an offer under our VET or Head Start streams and have already applied to QTAC, we may be able to make you an offer as early as the 6 September.

Why is my offer only conditional?

If you have not completed your VET qualification or Head Start course at the time of offer, you will be made a ‘conditional’ early offer. As soon as Griffith confirm your studies have been completed your offer will become unconditional.

It is unlikely that you will need to submit any further documentation. We will be in touch if we need any additional information.

How long do I have to respond to my early offer?

Once you have received your offer from QTAC you will have five days to respond. The date and time that you need to respond by will be clearly stated in your offer.

What happens if I don’t respond to my early offer?

Your early offer will lapse if you take no action and you will not receive any further offers from QTAC — so it’s important that you don’t ignore it!

If you’re unsure about accepting your early offer, we suggest accepting, 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. Once you have placed a new course as your first preference, the response for your old first preference changes to conditional.

If my offer lapses, can it be reinstated?

To reinstate your lapsed offer, you can contact QTAC on 1300 467 822.

Can I defer my early offer?

Yes, you can defer your offer for a maximum of one year.
