How to change your VTAC preferences
Important considerations
- You’ll receive one offer per round, based on the highest preference you're eligible for.
- Be mindful of VTAC application deadlines and processing fees.
- Be careful when deleting courses. If you remove a course with an early closing date, it cannot be re-added.
When in doubt, give us a call
Change of Preference VTAC dates
Once you've completed your VTAC application, you'll be able to update your course preferences during key time periods, from July to December and again in January and February.
Change of Preference will be open during these VTAC offer rounds.
