Encourage your child to list their preferences (up to six) in order of the course they want to study, but there are a couple of things to consider:

• Do they have the prerequisite subjects or assumed knowledge, if required?
  
• Do they meet any other selection requirements?
  

You can find out more about the preference system on the SATAC site, or ask our advisors.

Your child may be worried about what happens if they don’t get the ATAR they were hoping for. It’s important to reassure them that there are many pathways into a Flinders degree.

While your child will be expected to take charge of their learning in university, at Flinders we support and empower our students from day one. Flinders has a range of support services from study support through to health and wellbeing support to ensure your child has a great learning experience.

Waiting for results and offers can be stressful, but the process is not really that complicated.

Find out what happens before and after your child gets their results, and after offers come through here.

University fees vary depending on the course/topics your child enrols in, with many being Commonwealth Supported. For domestic students the government loan scheme, HECS-HELP, is available to assist eligible students in paying their student contribution fees. Find more details here.

Our study pages have further information about specific course fees, or you can find out more about fees here.
