Once you accept your offer, your status on Quest will change to “Intent to matriculate” which means now you can follow the steps to become “fees arranged” (pay your tuition) and then register for courses.
1. Fulfil conditions of your Offer (if applicable)

In Quest, there is also a “conditions” area that outlines any and all conditions to be fulfilled. These are automatically marked as complete when the conditions are fulfilled.
