Completing your Application Requirements

Application requirements are additional questions the university requires you to answer in order for your application to be assessed.  Depending on your circumstances this may be supporting documentation, such as visa information, or specific questions that require answers, such as a choice in major.

If the application requirement is mandatory, it will have an asterisk next to the requirement or the application requirement will indicate that “at least one document must be provided”.

Mandatory requirements must be completed before you can “Save and Continue” with the application.

Single response

Some application requirements only require a single response which can be selected from a drop-down box.

Multiple responses

Some application requirements may prompt you to respond more than once to a requirement depending on the answer you have provided to the previous question.

EXAMPLE: Requirements: Incomplete Research Degree

If the answer to the previous question is “YES”, further questions will be asked.

When a response is entered, the requirement will momentarily disappear. Further responses cannot be entered until the requirement reappears showing the response. The curser will indicate the progress.

Each further requirement is to be entered in the same manner making sure that the response is shown before moving to the next question.

Amending a response

To change your response:

• Click on the drop-down box and make a new selection (a warning message will appear asking if you want to save or cancel the new selection).
• Click the Save button to confirm your answer.

Responses cannot be amended once the application has been confirmed.

For some application requirements, you will be asked to provide supporting documentation.

There are two variations:

• Upload allowed but a hard copy document is also required.

You can upload documents that will assist in the assessment of your application; however you are still required to submit a hard copy. This is often needed prior to any offer being made, thus you should lodge this hard copy document as soon possible. Don’t forget to print a Cover Sheet to lodge with any hard copy documents.

• Upload allowed and hard copy not required

You can upload your documents and are not required to provide a hard copy unless requested by JCU.   Alternatively you can send hard copies of your documents if this suits your needs. Don’t forget to print a Cover Sheet to lodge with any hard copy documents.

You can upload more than one document for any application requirement.

• • Click on the Upload a new file link

• • Use the Browse button to locate your document.  Depending on your internet browser, you may need to select Choose File instead.

• • Once you have located the document ensure you select Upload File(s). You will note that you cannot load any files in subsequent requirements until you have finished loading the file you are working on.

• • If you have multiple documents for the same requirement, click the Add Another button. Once all files have been entered click the Upload button.

You can cancel or withdraw your application from the application requirements page at any time.

If you wish to cancel your application, click on the Cancel button, making sure you click Confirm when a warning message appears.

If you have entered a response or have clicked on the Save button, the Withdraw button will be available.  Click the Withdraw button and then the Confirm Withdraw button when the warning message appears.
