Trimester 3 Census date is coming up on Monday, 9 September – this is your last chance to:
- Pay your fees upfront or defer your fees using a HELP Loan (domestic students only)
-
- Paying your fees upfront: You must pay your tuition fees and your Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) by 9 September. Domestic students who wish to pay their tuition and/or SSAF upfront must ensure the billing type is updated to ‘Upfront’ in SOLS. International students who have been approved to be on an instalment plan must pay the first instalment of their fees by this date.
- Deferring your fees to your HELP Loan (domestic students only): To defer your tuition fees and SSAF payment to your HELP Loan, update your billing type by 9 September - go into SOLS and select Fees > HELP Loan Option > Maintain.
- Provide your Unique Student Identifier (USI) to UOW if you are a domestic UOW student in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) and/or accessing a HELP Loan (HECS/FEE/SA/OS/VET HELP). See more information about USI requirements for international, offshore and non-award students here.
- Check your assessments: Make sure you have closely read your subject outlines so that you know the types of assessments you may be required to complete this session, such as an end of session (final) exam.
- Withdraw from a subject for the current session without incurring tuition fees - if you withdraw before 9 September the subject will be removed from your record and you won’t be required to pay tuition fees.
-
- If you withdraw after this date, you will be financially liable for tuition fees - however you can apply to have the subject removed from your record before 27 September. After this date the subject will remain on your record.
- Please note for students receiving Centrelink benefits, withdrawing from subjects may impact your payments if study load requirements aren't met.
- If you are an international student, please check your visa requirements or speak with the AskUOW team before withdrawing from a subject.
-
- If you withdraw from all of your subjects for Trimester 3, you will need to apply for a Leave of Absence. If you have not yet completed one full session of study, you will need to defer your studies, instead of taking a Leave of Absence. To apply, please complete the online Deferral Application. This will prevent your enrolment from being lapsed or discontinued. Contact the AskUOW team if you need further information.
