How are census dates determined?
The census dates for applying for Commonwealth assistance in standard teaching periods are:
- teaching periods of more than six weeks in length: Friday of the fourth week of teaching
- teaching periods of six weeks or less in length: Friday of the second week of teaching.
See teaching periods for more information on the length of teaching periods.
Non standard intensive teaching periods are:
- two weeks or less: day before the first day of teaching
- more than two weeks but less than six weeks in length: Friday of the second week of teaching.
Financial liability (including HELP liability) is incurred for any unit or units cancelled after the census date.
See the cancellation charges for unit withdrawals table for more details.
What will happen if I have not fulfilled the requirements?
Census date is the date in each teaching period by which you need to have your enrolment requirements finalised.
Requirements
On or before census date:
- Commonwealth supported students must submit their online request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP form.
- Students who selected the up-front or partial payment option pay all or part of their student contribution amount
- Students with HECS-HELP loan [that is, if you are deferring part or all of your student contribution amount] must provide their Tax File Number.
- Eligible tuition fee paying students who are seeking Commonwealth assistance to pay their tuition fees must submit online request for FEE-HELP form and provide their Tax File Number.
- Tuition fee paying students must pay their fees.
Consequences
Failure to satisfy one or more of the above requirements means:
- Cancellation of enrolment
In accordance with the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) QUT cannot accept late up-front payment or late applications of HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP forms. Students who are cancelled are required to apply for readmission into a following semester.
- No additions to enrolment
will be accepted after the census date in any teaching period.
- Full financial liability
for any units you withdraw from after the census date.
