Census dates and teaching periods 2015
The census date is:
- when you become liable for fees for the units you're enrolled in
- the last day you can discontinue without 'withdrawn' showing on your academic record (there are some exceptions)
If you discontinue a unit after certain dates, your academic record can show withdrawn or withdrawn fail. You should understand how discontinuation dates can affect your fees and academic record.
