How to process International Student acceptances in the Studylink portal

Regardless of the student’s age, the Studylink Portal displays both Electronic Acceptance and Paper Acceptance options. Agents must select the appropriate acceptance method, based on the student's age at the time of acceptance.

• Students aged 18 or over: Select Electronic Acceptance. The student will receive an Electronic Acceptance Invitation to sign the Acceptance Form online.
• Student under 18: Select Paper Acceptance. The student must provide a physically signed Acceptance Form (by Student and Parent), which the agent uploads when completing the acceptance.

Acceptance workflow

Agent initiates online acceptance → Electronic Acceptance Invitation sent to student → Student Signs Acceptance Form online → Agent completes Acceptance in Portal.

Steps for agents

1. Initiate the acceptance process through Respond to Offer in the Studylink Portal.

2. Confirm the applicant’s email address and send the Electronic Acceptance Invitation.

3. Ask the student to complete and electronically sign the Acceptance Form.

4. Return to the application record in the Portal.

5. Attach the required supporting documents, complete any applicable information, and select Accept Offer to finalise the acceptance.

A PDF copy of the student’s electronic acceptance will be available for you to access. Agents also have the ability to add OSHC at acceptance should students wish to add this.
