The census date for each term is the last date to discontinue a course without academic penalty and without financial liability for fees/HECS-Help. For terms 1, 2 and 3, the census date will be the Sunday of Week 4:
Term 1, 2020 = 15 March
Term 2, 2020 = 28 June
Term 3, 2020 = 11 October
Please check UNSW Key Dates for updated details on deadlines regarding enrolment, discontinuation and census dates.
You may still discontinue courses after the census date and until the Withdrawal without Failure date without academic penalty. However you are still held liable for fees/ HECS-Help liability for the course. The Withdrawal without Failure date is usually the end of Week 6 for Term 1, 2 and 3 teaching periods.
If your request for withdrawal from one or more courses is the result of exceptional circumstances you may be eligible to apply for reimbursement of charges for the course. In addition, if exceptional circumstances prevent you from completing a course, and the Withdrawal without Failure date has passed then you may choose to apply for late withdrawal from a course.
