| If you have not paid your tuition fees and you have requested FEE-HELP assistance and you withdraw after the census date, you will have a debt to the Australian Government that you are legally required to repay. |
If after the census date, you become seriously ill or other special circumstances occur and you are unable to continue your studies, you can apply to your provider to have your FEE-HELP balance re-credited and your FEE-HELP debt removed for that unit(s). You should note that there are time limits for applying (see How do I apply to have my FEE-HELP balance re-credited and my debt removed in special circumstances?).
