Preference Reorder after submitting an application

Your ability to change preferences depends on the current stage of your application.

  1. If your application has already began assessment, you will need to email the provider that currently holds your application (please make sure to cc residentialcolleges@uwa.edu.au in the email) and ask for their email approval to release your application so that we can make relevant changes.

  2. If your application is still under ‘Completed Application’ with your first preference, it means assessment has not commenced, you will be able to reorder your preference on the portal independently.

Where am I able to reorder my college / property preference?

You can access the function to reorder your preferences by heading into the Application Summary page, the option to do so can be found at the bottom of the page or please click here.

Unable to reorder my preference?

This could be due to:

  • Application already under review.

If your application is already being assessed, you will need to seek the respective college's / property's approval to release / decline your application before any changes can be made.

  • Coupon Code Used.

If your Application Fee was paid by a specific College through the use of the specific College's coupon code, you will not be able to amend your preferences. If you'd like to make changes to your preferences, you can send a request to Central Admissions (residentialcolleges@uwa.edu.au) and you will be required to pay the application fee.
