Withdrawal from course application
When should you use this form?
Use this form to request withdrawal from your course.
- Before you apply to withdraw, it is strongly recommended that you discuss the matter with your Course Coordinator.
- Important: If you commenced your study in a Commonwealth Supported Place after 1 January 2022, and would like to withdraw from a unit after the census date (resulting in a WD or WF grade) this grade will be included in the low completion rate calculation. A 'low completion rate' is when you have a fail rate of more than 50 per cent of the units of study you have attempted, after you have attempted eight or more units of study in a Bachelor level or higher course.
Further information on Job-ready Graduates and Low Completion can be found here.
Further information on census dates can be found here. - Depending on the date of your withdrawal you may still be liable for fees and not be eligible for a refund.
Refer to census dates and academic penalty dates on the Academic Calendar. - You cannot withdraw from your course enrolment to avoid the requirement to 'Show Cause' for unsatisfactory academic progress in a given academic year.
To withdraw from units only, you can complete this online by logging in to ' My Enrolment ' with your SIMS username and password.
