Update your educational history

If you left out any secondary or tertiary studies or entered the details incorrectly when you were completing your profile, you can add or edit your educational history in the ‘my profile’ section of your VTAC profile.

Assign an authorised nominee

An authorised nominee is a person who has been nominated by you through your VTAC profile and can act on your behalf when contacting VTAC for support. The level of access they have to support on your behalf is dependent on which sections you give them access to. 

You can create a nominee through my profile > my nominees section in your VTAC profile. You will be asked to provide their details such as full name, date of birth, mobile number, email address and relationship to you.

Other changes

For changes to your personal details, you will need to submit a change personal details request, located under ‘my profile’ in your VTAC profile. You may be required to provide additional documentation.

You can update your citizenship and living location details directly under the my profile section.

Change your course preferences

Once you have submitted your course application, you can still change your preferences. Change of preference is closed during selection periods (just before offer rounds) but is open at all other times. Change of preference provides a safety net if your results are not what you expected, if your circumstances change or if you just change your mind.

Log in to your VTAC profile and under ‘course preferences’ select ‘edit courses’. From here, you can add/remove and update your course preference list. For more information see Changing your course preferences.

What to do if a course is cancelled

From time to time, institutions may need to cancel courses that were previously open to applications. See the course updates page for a list of course cancellations and changes.

If a course on your preference list is cancelled, you will be advised of the cancellation via email. You may then wish to review your course preferences and make changes, such as adding a new preference to your list. For more information, see Changing your course preferences.

Deciding not to proceed

If you have paid your course application processing fee, and you don't want to proceed with your application, you can simply ignore further communication from VTAC including any offers you may receive. You will not be enrolled in a course unless you take action upon receiving an offer.

In exceptional circumstances you can telephone or write to VTAC for consideration of a request to withdraw your course application. You remain liable for the course application processing fee even if you withdraw your course application because all applications are processed immediately.
