How to accept your UTS offer online as an international student video transcript

Congratulations on receiving an offer to study at UTS. You are officially a few steps away to becoming a UTS student! If you received an unconditional letter of offer from UTS and you wish to accept it, then this step-by-step guide is for you!

Step one: Read, complete, and sign your acceptance form

To accept your offer online, head back to the UTS Apply Online portal and log in with your credentials. If you have received an offer, the status of your application will say ‘Offer’.

Click ‘Action’, then ‘Respond to Offer’.

On this page, you will find your Offer Letter. Make sure you read it carefully. Your offer letter will contain lots of important information, including the estimated living costs. You will also find the acceptance form included in your offer letter.

When you sign the form, make sure your signature matches the one on your passport! If you submitted your application to a UTS representative, you should contact your agent to accept your offer. If you are under 18 years of age, special conditions apply to accepting your offer. Check out our website for more details.

Step two: Accepting your offer

If you have applied to UTS without an agent, on the Respond to Offer page, click “Accept Offer”. On this page, you will be asked to upload a number of documents. If you’ve been offered a UTS scholarship, you will need to upload your completed Scholarship Acceptance Form on this page. If you are being sponsored by your government or employer, you will also need to upload a Scholarship Financial Guarantee Letter from your sponsor.

Once you’ve uploaded all your documents, you can proceed to the next step.

If you have lodged your application via a UTS representative, you will need to send your acceptance documents to your agent and have them to accept your offer via the Agent portal.

Step three: Pay your fees

There are two ways to pay your deposit:

• First, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) via third-party Flywire.
• Second, through a bank draft/bank cheque. You will be required to upload a copy online and post the original bank draft/cheque to UTS with your full name and student number clearly written on the back. Check out our website for our postal address.

For more information on deposit and fees, please refer to the Protocol on fees and refunds for International Students.

Step four: Finalise your acceptance

Make sure you completed these three steps by the due date specified in your offer letter. After receiving your acceptance and completing your acceptance requirements, we'll issue you with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). You will need this to apply for your student visa.

Congratulations, you've completed the steps to accept your offer!

Here's some important information that you'll need to know before starting your studies at UTS:

First, UTS may also conduct a Genuine Temporary Entrant or Genuine Student check, and you may be requested to provide additional documentation as required.

Second, the Australian government requires all international students to maintain valid health insurance for the length of their studies. There are a number of approved health insurance providers that offer ‘Overseas Student Health Cover’. Once you have applied for and paid for your policy, the insurance provider will then issue a certificate with the policy number. You will need this number for your visa application, so make sure you know where to find it.

Finally, keep an eye out for an important email about UTS orientation and enrolling in your subjects.

That's about it for now. We look forward to welcoming you to UTS!
