  • If you apply as a graduate from an institution other than the University of Wollongong, the Director will assess the application and you will be advised of any conditions to be met to become eligible for entry into the Course. These requirements will not affect your place in the order of applications received.
  • If you are a final year student, you may be asked to make an appointment with the Director to discuss your proposed study plan. If part-time, you may be asked to enrol in a particular practice subject (Commercial/Property or Litigation) in each session.
  • If you are eligible for entry into the Course, the Director will recommend that you should be made an offer by UniAdvice (the University student administrative centre). Once you receive this offer, you must accept it and pay the Course fee for the enrolment to be completed.
  • If, at any time after lodging the application and before formal enrolment, you wish to withdraw your application, please notify the Law Faculty Office (Liz Mazar) so that any student on a waiting list can be considered for the Course. Once a student is enrolled, they must discuss any intention to withdraw from or to defer a subject with the Director, so that an alternative study plan can be devised.
