What happens after you Submit your Application?

After you Submit your Application there is nothing we need you to do.  If we have questions for you we will contact you.

To confirm we have received your Application we will contact you, via email, and advise you we have allocated you a place in the Tutorials.  This will NOT happen immediately.  You will usually receive an email from us within two business days of submitting your Application.  If your selected Tutorial Program or Group is full at the time of your application we will contact you with options.

We will then review your Application in detail and, subject to your Tutorial Fee being identified in our account, we will contact you, via email, with formal confirmation of your place and a Tax Invoice showing your fees as paid.  This will usually happen within five business days of submitting your Application.

These emails will go to the email address you provide in this Application Kit.  They may occasionally go into your Junk or Spam folder.  Please also look for them there.   If you have not heard from us within these time frames it is essential that you contact us.

Closer to the start date of your Tutorial Program we will get in touch with you, via email, with your detailed Commencement Information including how to join us for the Tutorial sessions and what you need to have with you.
