The application process

Applying for semester 1

You need to apply to Curtin through the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC). TISC processes applications for places in undergraduate courses in all four of Western Australia's public universities.

You may only apply once for university entry in any one year. You can choose up to six courses in order of preference. TISC will ensure that you are offered a place for your highest preference in which there is a place available and for which you are qualified.

You can add new preferences and change the order of your preferences, subject to closing dates. For the exact closing dates for changing your preferences, check the current TISC guide, visit the TISC website or phone +61 8 9318 8000.

Closing Dates for TISC Applications

• To avoid incurring a late fee: Late September.
• Final closing date for applications to the Bentley campus: Late November.
• Final closing date for rural Curtin campuses: Mid January.
• For the exact closing dates for applications, check the current TISC guide, visit the TISC website or phone +61 8 9318 8000.

Offers of Admission

Normally, most offers of admission are made in mid-January. Some further offers are made at the beginning of February. You must accept or defer within the period of time specified in your letter of offer. Failure to do so could result in losing the offer.
