Overview

There are administrative and legislative requirements that affect your enrolment and it is your responsibility to find out what requirements apply to your enrolment .

You are responsible for ensuring your enrolment record is accurate. This means you must check you are enrolled in the correct units and finalise your enrolment  by the census date that has been set for each unit.

If you are enrolled in a unit at the census date you will be liable for the fees and charges for that unit for the relevant semester, even if you intended to withdraw from the unit. It is not sufficient to advise the lecturer that you will no longer be attending classes.  If you do not wish to remain enrolled in a unit and incur the financial liability for it, you must formally withdraw from enrolment in that unit.

The Course & Unit Handbook  has information on census and withdrawal dates.
