    3. Fulfil enrolment tasks

    There will be a few things for you to do, like supply evidence of your identity and citizenship, and any requirements related to the programme you’re applying for. You may need to come in to Unitec to attend an interview or audition.

    4. Talk to us

    A specialist enrolment manager may give you a call to check in soon after you’ve applied. You may not have supplied all of the evidence by then, but don’t worry. Based on this conversation, and the information we have, we may be able to make you an offer of study. This is a good opportunity for you to ask any questions about your programme (if you have them), and make sure you know what’s going to happen next. 

    5. Accept your offer

    You will accept your conditional or unconditional offer in your enrolment portal. If the offer is conditional, you’ll need to fulfil all the conditions as quickly as you can so that we can enrol you into classes.

    6. Pay your fees

    We’ll send you an invoice, and information about how to pay your fees. If you’re a domestic student, you can apply for a student loan via Studylink, or read our information on the fees-free tertiary study policy.
