How are you going?

If things aren't what you'd imagined, or you're looking for support, you can get help to make informed decisions about your studies before Census date.

What is Census date?

Census date is 31 March. It is the last day you can withdraw from a unit without being liable for any fees that relate to that unit or course. 

If you're studying a degree or a UniLink diploma, withdrawing from a unit after Census date will also result in academic penalty (fail grade).

Get support during Reflection Week

Drop in to the Atrium between 11am and 2pm on 14, 15 or 16 March to discover how you can upgrade your learning experience and maximise your study outcomes this semester. You can: 

If you think you can better position yourself for success by switching things around, go for it!

Remember: You have until 31 March to make changes to your study load without penalty.
