It is important that you follow the correct withdrawal procedures of your provider. It is your responsibility to find out about these procedures by contacting your provider. You should keep a copy of your withdrawal form as confirmation that you advised your provider of your withdrawal on or before the census date.
You should not confuse the FEE-HELP census date with the academic withdrawal date (the date set by your provider as the final day that a student can withdraw from a unit without incurring academic penalty - ie. a recorded fail grade), as these dates may be different. Your provider will be able to inform you of the census date and the academic withdrawal date.
| It is important to remember if you have not correctly withdrawn from a unit on or before its census date and you have lodged your Request for FEE-HELP assistance form that covers the unit(s), you will incur a debt with the Australian Government. That debt cannot be transferred or deferred to another unit of study. |
