Admissions

The census date is the last date you can withdraw from a subject without being financially liable i.e. having to pay for the subject. If you correctly withdraw from a study block by the census date, you will not incur a HELP debt. If you are using FEE‑HELP, your FEE-HELP limit will not be reduced if you withdraw by the census date. If you have paid your tuition fees up-front, you may be entitled to a refund.
