Frequently asked questions
-
What's the difference between the census date and the academic withdrawal date?
The Census Date is your last chance to withdraw without a financial penalty (you won't have to pay for your unit/s). The Academic Withdrawal Date is your last chance to withdraw without an academic penalty (you won't receive a "Fail" grade for your unit/s).
-
Where do I find deadlines for my assignments and exams?
Deadlines for your specific unit assessments, like assignments and in-class tests, are in your Unit Outline, available on the Learning Management System (LMS).
-
What happens if I miss a deadline to add or withdraw from a unit?
If you miss a key deadline due to exceptional circumstances, you may be able to apply for Special Approval or an Exceptional Variation of Assessment (EVA). It is best to speak with a Student Adviser to understand your options.
-
When are my UWA fees due?
Your specific fee due dates are listed in your Statement of Account (eSOA) in studentConnect. It's important to pay by the due date to avoid penalties. The census date is the final deadline to withdraw from a unit without being liable for the fees for that teaching period.
