Evaluation statuses

To understand where the assessment of your application is up to, please see the evaluation status information below.

Statuses that require your action

This status generates automatically based on the information completed in the form and need for the associated supporting documents to commence the assessment process.

Please check your application to see what information is missing. For example, you may have indicated work experience but not attached a CV. Check that any documents you have uploaded are uploaded under the correct document type.

Once the Admissions Team has assessed your application, they may request additional supporting documentation.

You will receive an email requesting you provide the additional supporting documentation to recommence the assessment process.
