This is not the same as the census date. Your tuition fees must be paid by the due date, which is prior to the census date to allow the University time to process your payment and ensure that your student account has been accurately updated. The due date is shown on your statement of account in SIMO.
To avoid overdue notices and late payment fees, you must ensure your fees are paid by the due date or that your preference to defer your fees to a HELP loan has been recorded if you are eligible.
For fee due dates, visit the Money Matters - When to Pay page.
The census date is the date by which your enrolment and fees must be finalised for the teaching period.
If you withdraw from unit(s) or your course before the census date, you will not be financially liable for fees. Any fee credit resulting from an early withdrawal will remain in your student account to be applied to future periods. If you discontinue your studies, you can apply for a refund. International Student refund applications will be assessed in accordance with the International Student Tuition Fee Refund Policy.
Withdrawing from a unit or course after the census date will result in you remaining financially liable for the fees of any unit(s) that you withdraw from.
International students on a student visa should seek advice prior to withdrawing from a course or unit(s).
If you wish to withdraw, please read one of these:
Please contact the Student Hub if you require more information.
