Why QUT?

[Print-friendly version]

Current Year 12 school leavers

Requests are lodged via QTAC's response to web. Responses must be lodged by the QTAC offer response date, as printed on your QTAC offer letter.

Non-Year 12 school leavers

In addition to responding to QTAC you must lodge a special circumstance claim, with all supporting documentation, to QUT Admissions, Kelvin Grove, QLD, 4059 by the QTAC offer response date printed on your QTAC offer letter. Your request must confirm that the circumstance will not prevent you from studying after deferment.

Special circumstances are those:

  • beyond your control, ie not due to your action or inaction
  • that had their full impact on or after you were made an offer into the course, including circumstances which occurred before the offer date but where the impact worsened or the full effect did not become apparent until after that date
  • that made it impracticable for you to start your studies.

Notification

You will receive formal notification on your deferment outcome from QUT within seven working days after the final date to respond to the QTAC offer.
