University of New South Wales College update

As the second half of the year is about to begin, please check out the latest news from UNSW College, including enrollment information for the Term 3 Pre-Masters program and important updates regarding the VEPT exam.

1. Updates to the VEPT Internal Test Policy

Due to changes in the market environment, starting from October 1, 2025, UNSW College will no longer accept VEPT (Versant English Placement Test) as a certification method for English language proficiency.

We recommend students who need to submit English test scores to choose from the following exams:

• Cambridge Advanced English (CAE)
• IELTS
• TOEFL
• PTE

Students are advised to arrange their exam schedule reasonably when submitting applications.

From October 1, 2025, for those who are unable to arrange regular exams due to tight schedules (such as within two weeks before the acceptance deadline), the school may, at its discretion, accept TOEFL iBT Home Edition, but please note:

• Only applicable in special cases of urgent time constraints;
• Exam fees are to be borne by the students.

2. Flywire Payment Processing Delays

Due to UNSW College implementing a new system, tuition fees paid via Flywire may experience delays of up to 72 hours in processing.

We are actively working to fix this known issue and appreciate your communication of this information to students. System repairs are underway, and further updates will be provided in a timely manner.
