Where can I find important dates that I should know about?
Important dates can be found on the key dates webpage.
The dates for semesters are available in the Academic Calendar. For non-standard teaching periods please refer to the Census dates page.
- Census date is the last day you can withdraw from a subject without having to pay for it. It's also the deadline to finalise your Commonwealth Support arrangements (if eligible). Note that you need to create and submit your Unique Student Identifier (USI) by census date to qualify for a HELP loan (HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP, SA-HELP, OS-HELP). Check the Census dates page, or view your statement of account to see the census dates for your subjects.
- Census dates for individual subjects are also listed in the subject guide, available in the Learning management system (LMS).
- Exam dates are published towards the end of each semester.
