Census date
The census date is the date which all your enrolment related requirements must be finalised. A higher education provider must, for each unit of study it provides or proposes to provide during a year, determine, for that year a particular date to be the census date for the unit.

The census date is important because it is the deadline for all the following:
-
finalising your enrolment
-
completing and submitting your Request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP form
-
providing your Tax File Number, if you request a HECS-HELP loan.
If you remain enrolled in a Commonwealth supported unit at the end of the census date you will:
- be liable to pay your student contribution
-
incur a HECS-HELP debt, if you have requested a loan for your student contribution
-
incur a 'fail' grade if you choose to withdraw after the census date without special circumstances.
