My Online Application Checklist

When completing your application, use this checklist as a guide to ensure you have collected all necessary supporting documentation and downloaded any software programs you may need.

Internet Explorer (7.0 and up) or Firefox (2.0 and up) and JavaScript enabled.

Before you start your application, you should take some time to prepare. To complete your application successfully you will need the following:

  • A valid email address unique to you. This will be the address used to send your username and password for future access to Online Applications
  • Your degree preferences
  • Supporting documentation

1.    New Applicants to JCU Only

Register by providing your personal details.  You will be emailed temporary log in details. Once you have completed the registration process you can begin applying for courses immediately.

OR

2.    Current and Previous JCU Students

If you have previously studied at JCU or have previously applied but not enrolled your login and password will be the same as your login and password for eStudent. You DO NOT need to register.

All electronic documents that will be uploaded with your application must be in a suitable file format (i.e. pdf, doc, docx, or jpg image files). If you provide files in other formats it may delay assessment of your application. The file size limit is 5Mb per file.

In some cases you may need to attach additional forms to your application.  In particular:

To upload documents after submitting your application, log back in to your online application - click the 'Upload Supporting Documentation' button.

When you have submitted your application, you will be able to print a cover sheet. This should be attached to any hard copy documentation you are required to provide.  Hard copy documentation should be certified.

Applications for research degrees must be completed in full before assessment can commence.

Once you have submitted your application you can track it by logging into eStudent.  If you are new to JCU, use the temporary user name and password emailed to you at the time of registration to login.
