To register as a first time user on JCU’s online application portal you need to be on the webpage of your chosen course (for example: the Bachelor of Marine Science webpage).

Note: your academic transcripts must be accompanied by the grading scale/key/legend used at the institution where you have undertaken your previous studies. If documentation is in a language other than English, an official certified translation must be included and translated by the issuing institution or by an official translating service.
We will assess your application based upon academic and English entry requirements for your preferred course.

The offer letter includes:
- name and duration of the course you have been accepted into
- tuition fees, student services and amenities fee and Overseas Student Health Cover
