Census Dates

The Census Date is the deadline in each semester when all enrolment and payment arrangements must be finalised.  Census Date deadlines cannot be extended. 

Why are Census Dates so important?

If you have applied for VET FEE-HELP you will need to withdraw from your enrolled course prior to the Census date to avoid incurring a VET FEE-HELP debt.  Census Dates are the last dates to withdraw or finalise your enrolment.

You will be liable for fees for any subject you are enrolled in after this date. 

You cannot access VET FEE-HELP assistance after the Census Date.
