Teaching periods

The key dates for each teaching period are important because they determine when tuition fees need to be paid and when a withdrawal could be recorded on your transcript.

For other key dates, including supplementary and deferred exams and unit results, see dates and deadlines.

What the dates of a teaching period mean

• Before census date
  A withdrawal isn't recorded on your academic transcript, but an administrative record is kept.
• After census date
  You need to pay tuition fees for enrolments that continue past the census date.
• Between census and first date for withdrawal with fail
  A withdrawal is recorded on your academic transcript. The unit is counted as an unsuccessful attempt for your Completion Rate.
• On or after first date for withdrawal with fail
  A fail is recorded on your academic transcript.
