Withdrawing from a course or program
2. Important university dates
For the purposes of withdrawing, there are some important dates to be aware of:
- Census date - this is generally the last date to drop courses without financial liability
- Last date to withdraw without academic penalty
- First day of the examination period
- Finalisation of grades.
These dates will help you to determine what academic or financial consequences (if any) might apply if you withdraw from a course or from a program.
View dates
- Semester 1, Semester 2, or Summer Semester
- Trimester, Trimester 2, or Trimester 3 (UQ College)
- Research Quarters (HDR students)
- Teaching periods
- Semester examination dates.
Note: Flexibly scheduled courses
A small number of courses are flexibly scheduled.
The key dates for these courses depend on each course and the date of commencement. Log in to mySI-net and click on the Enrolments tile to view the key dates for your courses including start date, end date and census date.
The last date to withdraw without academic penalty for these courses is the same as the census date.
