What is the status of my application?

- Pending review - your application currently being reviewed against the eligibility and allocation criteria.
- Awaiting order payment - application has been approved, but the registration of the domain name is pending receipt and allocation of the associated registration fees.

- Cancelled - application has been cancelled either due to it not meeting the eligibility and/or allocation criteria and having been rejected (TBC) or having timed out due to either lack of response to a request for further information or supporting documentation or lack of payment. Please check the email address associated with your account for the corresponding notification.
Can I register multiple domain names?

How do I renew my domain name?
You can renew your domain name through the following steps:
- Sign in to your edu.au domain name management account
- Navigate to Products & Services and select the domain name
- Click Issue next invoice from the management options
Your renewal will then be processed on receipt and reconciliation of payment if paying by direct deposit, or within a few minutes if paying via credit card.
You can also enable auto-renew so that this process is automatic going forward.

Applications and renewals page.
When can I renew my domain name?
From 90 days before the expiry date, however there is also a grace period of 30 days after the expiry date.
If the expiry date is reached without being renewed, the domain name will enter a suspended state, where any services that were attached to the domain name will no longer be accessible.
Subsequently, if you do not renew during the grace period, the domain name will be deleted from the registry, and you will need to submit a new application if you wish to reinstate the domain name. Please note once deleted from the registry, the domain name will also be available for others to register.
How do I change the name server delegation?
To change the name server delegation, from either the

Update Nameservers. Please note you must have at least 2 name servers set for the registry to consider the domain active.
How do I update DNS records?
To change DNS records on the existing name servers, contact your hosting provider directly.
If you are hosting your DNS records with us, select the
DNS tab in the navigation bar.
You can view your current name server delegation via the

How do I 'register' sub-domains?
Sub-domains do not need to be registered. These are created by and managed as a function of your DNS hosting provider.
If hosting your DNS via our customer portal, the associated record can be added via
DNS tab.
If hosting your DNS with a third-party provider, you will need to contact that provider for assistance.
Please note allowing a third party to operate under a sub-domain will be considered a breach of the
Registrant Agreement.
