Withdrawal dates and refund amounts for domestic students
If you’re considering withdrawing, it’s important you understand the withdrawal process. The date you withdraw determines the refund amount you will receive as well as the outcome on your transcript.
If you wish to withdraw from a unit or your course, you must apply through StudentConnect. It is important to understand that you cannot withdraw verbally in-person or over the phone
Withdrawal options
There are three important withdrawal date windows that have different outcomes for your fees and transcript.
Withdrawn Early (WE) – if you withdraw before CENSUS DATE, you will receive a full refund.
Withdrawn Late (WL) – if you withdraw between the day AFTER census date until the LAST DATE TO WITHDRAW, there is no refund and you will receive a Withdrawn Late (WL) on your transcript.
Withdrawn Fail (WN) – if you withdraw on or after the NO REFUND date, there is no refund and you will receive a Withdrawn Fail (WN) on your transcript.
