Our offer guarantee can give you peace of mind about your study choices. If you receive an ATAR or selection rank equal to or higher than the offer guarantee, you are guaranteed a place in the course regardless of the threshold. This means that when you know your ATAR or selection rank, you can check your eligibility for a QUT course before receiving an offer. You still need to lodge a QTAC application by the closing date.
