Step-by-step guide to applying
After visiting Degree Finder and choosing what to study, you can now follow the application steps below:
Before applying, understand the eligibility and entry requirements. Look out for any prerequisites or assumed knowledge subjects. Some degrees do have additional entry requirements like interviews and auditions. Lastly, make sure you check out the important dates so you get your application in on time.
Changing preferences can include:
- reordering your existing preferences; and
- adding or removing preferences to your application.
You can check or change preferences online via the My Application section of the SATAC website, so don’t forget to make us your first preference.
SATAC will only make one offer for the highest preference you are eligible for. This means the degree you want to study should be your first preference.
If you need any advice about study options or entry requirements, call, chat, email or book an appointment with one of our advisers.

An offer email will be sent to the email address you provided on your SATAC application.
If you receive an offer to your first preference, you do not need to respond, as SATAC will do this on your behalf. If you receive an offer that is not your first preference, log on to the SATAC website and respond by the date shown on your offer email.
After accepting your offer, we will send you an email outlining important information about getting started at the University, including your new University ID number.
Now you can start to plan your timetable, enrol, attend orientation and begin your university journey. Good luck!
