2018 Trimester dates

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.
