Tips for changing your course preferences:   

Always list courses in order of preference!

Don't make the mistake of listing your course preferences in the order you think you will get into them. Selection authorities may make multiple offers to the same applicant, but you will only receive an offer for the highest offered course on your preferences. If you don't list courses in the order you most want to study them you may end up missing out on the course you most want to do.

 

Check course selection criteria carefully

Keep in mind that the closing dates for any additional requirements in the selection criteria for courses may be soon or may have already passed. Read the selection criteria carefully before adding any courses to your preference list, and contact the institution if you're not sure of the requirements.

Some courses can't be added after certain dates

Some courses do not accept new course applications after a certain date. Check the course description and selection criteria carefully before adding any courses to your preferences to make sure the closing date has not already passed.

Don't delete and re-add courses – use the re-ordering arrows

If you delete a courses with an early closing date (see above) from your preferences, you will not be able to add it back to your application. To be safe, use the up and down arrows to re-order your preferences.

Changing your preferences during the offer rounds

Once you have received an offer you cannot delete that course from your preferences, however you can move it up or down your list, change the order of your other preferences or add new courses.

Don't forget to list courses in the order you would most like to study them, with the course you most want to get into at the top.
