What's next?</h4> <p>Applications need all mandatory documents before they can be considered. It is your responsibility to ensure that your application is submitted in full, with all correct and satisfactory documents, before any relevant deadline.<br /> <br /> Applications may take around a week to come through Apply Online to the student system, and longer for documents to be reviewed during high peak periods (eg around scholarship deadlines). Your documents may be rejected if they do not meet UNSW requirements, so it is important you check requirements prior to submission, and then track your application yourself. Be aware that if you submit documents after the deadline, your application may be considered for a later term/scholarship round (if applicable).</p> <ul> <li>After You Submit an Application</li> </ul> <p>Once your application has come through to the student system, you’ll receive an email confirmation with a UNSW Student ID.<br /> At this stage, you can track your application in your <a href="https://applyonline.unsw.edu.au/login">UNSW Apply Online account</a>, and upload any documents you may have missed through your UNSW Apply Online account. It is important that you periodically check your Apply Online account to ensure you can see any updates.<br /> <br /> Your application will then be processed, and you’ll receive a formal receipt letter after this. Log into Apply Online to view outstanding documents, if and why your documents have been rejected, and if any new documents are required. You may also be contacted separately by email if there are questions about your application.<br /> <br /> If you submit further documents after this time, please allow a week for additional submitted documents to be checked and updated.</p> <p>Only once mandatory documents have been accepted will your application be sent to your School for processing. <br /> </p> </div> </span> </div> <div class="accordion uds-component section"> <span data-component_type="accordion" data-component_id="accordion_copy-400763615" data-component_title="HDR application process"> <section class="accordion"> <ul> <li class="accordion-list-item"> <button class="accordion-item single-only" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="b0817597-9526-4d5f-9ebd-d7ad49e1050b" data-click_category="accordion" data-click_id="accordion-copy-f44e8ff3" data-click_title="HDR application process" data-click_name="After You Submit an Application"> <div class="accordion-item-heading"> After You Submit an Application </div> <span class="accordion-item-button"></span> </button> <div id="b0817597-9526-4d5f-9ebd-d7ad49e1050b" class="accordion-content"> <div class="accordion-text"> <span data-component_type="text" data-component_id="accordion-item-0-1084924055" data-component_title="HDR application process"> <div class="cmp-text"> <p>Once your application has been processed, you’ll receive an email confirmation with a UNSW Student ID.
