Flexible study choices

There are many study choices available for your students, including having the flexibility to change preferences, alternative pathways to CSU such as TAFE, transferring to preferred courses and deferring an offer.

Change of preference

Your child may decide they wish to change their preferences after they receive their ATAR/ENTER.

Alternate study pathways

Students may consider taking a year or more off before going to university perhaps getting some work experience or undertaking a TAFE course to strengthen their application. Find out more about Pathway Programs to CSU.

Course transfer

There are often several courses that can help students access the career they want, so it's good to look at other CSU courses that offer similar study outcomes.

Providing they perform well in their first year of study (at least a Credit average), they may be eligible to transfer to their preferred course in their second year of study.

Deferring an offer

Deferring an offer allows students to delay the commencement of their course for 12 months, which can allow time to think about careers, earn money or travel. If students defer their offer for 12 months, they are guaranteed entry into that place the following year. Some CSU courses cannot be deferred.
