If you intend to only withdraw from units of your current program use Application to Amend Enrolment (Higher Education) or Student Amendment to Enrolment (TAFE Division). These forms are on the Student Forms website.

  • Before you apply to withdraw, it is strongly recommended that you discuss the matter with your Academic Unit
  • Depending on the date of your withdrawal you may still be liable for fees and not be eligible for a refund
  • Students cannot withdraw from their course enrolment to avoid the requirement to 'Show Cause' for unsatisfactory academic progress in a given academic year.
