If you withdraw from a unit and/or course after the unit census date you remain liable for tuition and/or
student contribution amounts. After the final Withdrawal Without Academic Penalty date you will also record
a fail grade against the unit or units concerned. Under normal circumstances you will not be entitled to a
refund.
The University can, in special circumstances:
• permit a student to withdraw from a unit without academic penalty (ie failure);
and, on behalf of the Commonwealth Government’s Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST):
• re-credit a person’s Student Learning Entitlement (SLE) with an amount equal to the equivalent fulltime
student load (EFTSL) value of the unit of study;
• re-credit a person’s FEE-HELP balance with an amount equal to the amount of FEE-HELP
assistance that the person received for the unit of study;
• remit a domestic student contribution deferred partially or fully through HECS-HELP for a unit of
study; or
• refund a domestic student contribution paid up-front; or
• refund a paid tuition fee for a unit of study. |
