Application closing dates

In some instances, where there are limited places available and there is very high demand for UOW College pathway programs, applications for a session may close early. This may particularly occur with UOW College pathways leading to courses in the Faculties of Arts, Education and Health and Behavioural Sciences. If the closing date is brought forward due to high demand, applicants will be advised that they will be considered for the next available intake.
