Withdrawal without Financial and Academic Penalty Dates 2007
The HESA (Higher Education Support Act 2003) legislation requires that for every unit of study offered, the University must set a census or reporting date for the period in which that unit is taught. What this means is that the University now has authorised 12 teaching periods. Most students will undertake a normal Semester 1 and Semester 2 pattern but it is important to be aware of the dates applicable to your enrolment pattern.
The following table shows the latest date that you may withdraw without incurring any financial or academic penalty for studies undertaken in the relevant teaching period:
Teaching Period |
