The census date marks the deadline for withdrawing from a subject, your course, or requesting a break from your study, without incurring financial liabilities or having the action recorded on your academic transcript and statements.
How census date affects you
International students
For international fee-paying students, census date is the last day you can withdraw from the current study period and receive a refund. Refund amounts are determined by the date of withdrawal and whether you are a new or continuing student.
Withdrawal dates and refunds for new/commencing international students
Withdrawal dates and refunds for established/continuing international students
Domestic students
If you’re a domestic student, census date has numerous implications.
- It’s the last day you can withdraw from units, intermit from the current study period, or discontinue your course without HECS-HELP/FEE-HELP liability.
- For Commonwealth-supported, HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP or SA-HELP students, it’s the last day you can make full or partial upfront payments for the current study period.
- For Commonwealth-supported students, it’s the last day you can submit an online Commonwealth Assistance Form and/or provide your tax file number (TFN).
- For Commonwealth-supported, HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP or SA-HELP students, it’s the last day you can submit your Unique Student Identifier (USI).
- For domestic fee-paying students, it’s the last day you can apply for FEE-HELP or pay fees up front for the current study period.
- It’s also the last day you can withdraw from the current study period without incurring the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
