Census date

If you're struggling with a unit or with your study load, you might want to consider dropping a unit.

If you decide to do this, make sure you drop the unit by 11.59pm on the census date (Melbourne time).

The census date is the last day:

  • before you become liable for fees for the units you're enrolled in
  • you can withdraw from a unit without Withdrawn showing on your academic record.

If you’re an international student and you want to discontinue from your course, some financial penalties may apply – check our refunds page for more information.

Before making changes to your enrolment, check your:

  • course rules (for core units, prerequisites or corequisites) or talk to your faculty
  • visa conditions, if you're an international student. You usually need to have a full study load for your student visa to remain valid.

Remember to keep your contact details up-to-date in WES, otherwise you might miss important communications from us.

For a full list of census dates for all teaching periods (e.g. full-year units, terms, trimesters), and any penalties that apply, see census dates and teaching periods.
