QTAC (Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre) is the centralized application system for most undergraduate and some postgraduate courses at universities and tertiary institutions in Queensland, Australia. To apply through QTAC, applicants need to create an account on the QTAC website, research and select up to 6 course preferences, fill out the online application with personal and academic details, upload any required documentation, pay the application fee, and then submit the application. Offers are made based on preferences and eligibility, and applicants can respond to offers or change preferences before final enrollment. Key dates for applications and offers typically include opening dates in early August, closing dates around early December, and offer rounds in January. Here are the basic steps of the QTAC application process:
- Create a QTAC account online
- Research courses and their entry requirements
- Select and order up to six course preferences
- Complete the online application form
- Upload required supporting documents
- Pay the application fee
- Monitor the application portal for offers and updates
Applicants also need to ensure they meet specific documentation deadlines and follow procedures for submitting certified copies or originals if requested. Fees vary depending on when the application is submitted. The main deadline for submitting applications for the common offer rounds is usually in early December, with offers released in mid-January for university start in Semester 1 of the following year.
