Withdrawal without financial and academic penalty dates 2011

The HESA (Higher Education Support Act 2003) legislation requires that for every unit of study offered, the University must set a census or reporting date for the period in which that unit is taught. Most students will undertake a normal semester one and semester two pattern but it is important to be aware of the dates applicable to your enrolment pattern.

The following table shows the latest date that you may withdraw without incurring any financial or academic penalty.
