Enrolment and class allocation
2. Enrolment dates
For the purposes of enrolment, there are four important dates:
1. Due date to enrol. It is your responsibility to enrol in at least one course by this date. For Semester 1 and 2 there are different due dates to enrol for domestic and international students, so make sure you know the date that applies to you.
2. Final date for addition of courses or alteration of enrolment. This is at the end of Week 2 each semester.
3. Census Date. Course fees are not-refundable if you withdraw after census date, and you can't enrol in courses after Census Date, unless there are extraordinary or exceptional circumstances. It’s also the last date you can apply for a HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP loan.
4. Last date to withdraw from courses without academic penalty. This is the last day you can withdraw from your studies with a grade of 'W' – Course cancelled without academic penalty. A 'W' won't affect your grade point average. If there are extraordinary or exceptional circumstances after this date, you may still be eligible to withdraw without academic penalty.
