  • Before you Start

  • Well hi there! We are really excited that you are choosing to study with ACOM in the coming trimester. Now, before you start filling in your application, here are a few things you will need to know about the process.

    Pre-reading:

    Prior to commencing study with ACOM you will need to read and understand the information and policies in our student handbook, and the requirements of the course you are studying. You can find a copy of the Student Handbook under the Resource section of the ACOM website here.

    For students intending to defer fees onto Fee-HELP, you will need to read the Fee-HELP information, terms and conditions here. Fee-HELP forms will be provided electronically to successful applicants after official acceptance to ACOM.

    • Certificates/Transcripts of Previous Study

    The following documents will also need to be submitted for select students:

    • Learning Cohort Agreement Form (Learning Cohort Students only)
    • Pension Card (Pension Students only)

    You will need to declare that you give permission for ACOM to verify any documents you submit with the relevant authority/institution

    If you have your documents ready, you will have the opportunity to upload your documents throughout the online Application process. However, if you are still collecting documents you will be able to submit them separately by emailing them to [email protected]. Please note your Application will be held as incomplete until all outstanding documents have been received. Incomplete Applications will be kept on file for a maximum of 6 months.

    Save your Application Progress

    Short on time? Don’t stress! We understand that we live busy lives, and you may not have enough time to complete your online application in one sitting. For this reason, you can select the ‘Save’ button to save your progress and come back and finish your application later. When saving your progress your data will be captured, however any uploaded documents may not be and will need to be emailed separately to ACOM. Please know that we are currently having difficulties with the hyperlinks to re-open a saved application. Note that if you would like to re-open a saved application, please copy and paste the link emailed to you into your web browser rather than clicking the hyperlink.

    After you Press Submit

    Our trusty ACOM team will receive your submission and will get in contact with further information and timeframes for your application. If you have provided everything we need, you can expect an official answer within 2 weeks of all documents being received.
