Can I change a course after submitting my application.

[ArtyDreams]

Hi AN,

Yeppp the time has come for me to submit my VTAC application, and I really dont want to mess it up ah ha!

I hope this question isnt a silly and obvious one though - I'm still learning the world of VTAC.

So, after I submit my application I understand that I CAN change the preference order around.

But can I add and delete courses? For example, if theres a course that I want to replace with something else later down the track, am I able too?

Thanks

Yep you can add and delete courses as well as change the order before the specific date (I think for some courses it’s the 30th of September).

Just remember, some courses have early closing dates - if you don't put them in before an earlier date they'll have closed. Also same goes for if you had them on the list then took them off.

Just wanted to add a couple of things on top of both replies above.

1. If you add a course that has additional criteria (ie aren’t just ATAR + adjustment entry) after the deadline for the additional criteria and did not do the additional criteria, then you will not be able to get into the course. For example, you didn’t do a performance for that Fine Arts course you decided on after Round 1 of offers, because you added the courses after the performance times were given/ the performances occurred already.
2. If you add a course between offer rounds, be very careful. Not all courses participate in all offer rounds. Some run out of places to offer in the first few rounds, so if you add one that doesn’t participate in subsequent rounds... there’ll be no offers to receive from that course. (I don’t remember if there’s a list of courses participating/ not participating in subsequent rounds, nor do I know where it is if that exists.)

AFAIK, courses that do this are ones where everybody (or near everybody) accepted their first round offer. As such, there's not going to be a list, because it depends on who accepted what.

VTAC publishes a list of courses unlikely to make further offers (https://delta.vtac.edu.au/CourseApp/application/closedCoursesList.htm)

They also highlight those courses in RED when you try to add them to your list during Change of Preference windows.

A course’s absence from the list is not a guarantee that they will make further offers.  And a course flagged RED in one round might then be able to offer places in a following round.
