yeah, as above, you can take as many offers as you want and even enrol, and just ditch it later. i was enrolled in both usyd and unsw after 2nd round offers and then made a decision a bit before the semester started.
Ah alright thank you. But just to make it clear; so I just accept the offers and don't enroll in any units so that I don't get caught by fees or need to withdraw?Congratulations on your offers! Generally speaking, accepting an offer and enrolling in a degree are separate actions that lead to two different statuses. When you accept an offer for a degree, you are essentially at a stage where you have the ability to enrol in that degree. However, this does not mean that you are forced to enrol in the degree. Whether you choose to enrol depends on whether you wish to study that particular degree at the university from which you received the offer. If you decide not to enrol in a particular degree, there would be no need to withdraw.
On the other hand, enrolling in the degree means that you are officially a student studying that degree at the university from which you received the offer. As such, you will be subject to university fees and HECS debt following relevant census dates. From this point, you can complete the degree, or unenrol at any point in time if you wish to transfer to an equivalent degree at a different university, or if you find that you wish to change your field of study completely.
In your case, it would be good to accept your offers so that you have backup options in the event that you end up not receiving an unconditional offer from UNSW.
I hope this helps!
No worries. Yes pretty much, even if you submit an eCAF, but are not enrolled in any units, there will not be fees. However, if you are officially enrolled but wish to study a different degree or at a different university, you will need to withdraw.
ahhh ok got it. sorry about all the questions but this is an ask from a friend of mine. how do census dates work? and how would that affect offers? From what i've looked up its regarding fees for course units so I assume that it won't matter that much since we would just be accepting the offer and not enrolling in any units/officially enrolling as a student and it won't affect us? Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Census dates are essentially the deadlines before which a student who drops a unit will not have to pay its fees, and after which a student who drops a unit will still have to pay its fees. For a census date to affect a student in the first place, the student must be enrolled in at least one unit. This means that if a student has only accepted an offer, i.e. they have not enrolled in the degree but more importantly in one or more units of that degree, census dates will not be relevant.
