Student contribution – Commonwealth-supported place

A student who withdraws from units before the census date of the study period on Student Connect - Managing Your Studies, or submits an Application for Withdrawal from Course (WC) form prior to the close of business on the census date for the study period will be given a full refund of any up-front student contribution. The Student Learning Entitlement (SLE) consumed for the withdrawn unit(s) of study will be re-credited.

A student who withdraws from units after the census date of the study period on Student Connect - Managing Your Studies, or submits an Application for Withdrawal from Course (WC) form after the close of business on the census date for the study period, or who discontinues the unit or course without formally withdrawing, will not be entitled to any refund of fees paid and will not be relieved of liability for any outstanding fees or charges owing. The associated SLE recorded will be maintained.

Refunds owed for a semester in a given year will be credited to cover any liability for a future semester in that same year. Students who require a refund must submit an Application for Refund (RF) form. Students who have a refund amount and no liability for a future semester in that same year automatically have a refund processed.
