Note: Sydney Law School requests students intending to withdraw from an intensive unit of study do so no later than the close of business on the first day of classes. Withdrawal requests received subsequent to the first day of classes may incur an administration fee.
(1)Students are required to make themselves available for the duration of the scheduled exam period at the end of each semester (or on the dates specified by the Unit Coordinator in the case of an early or late intensive unit) to complete their exams. Please consult the Special Consideration Policy
(2)Requests to add units of study subsequent to students receiving their semester fee invoice must be accompanied by payment if the request results in an additional fee liability being incurred. Students may view their Statement of Fees Due and make online payment through MyUni
(3)Students are strongly advised to finalise enrolment and payment of units of study as soon as possible to ensure pre-class details (reading materials, LMS access, presentation topics, etc) are available prior to commencement of classes. Enrolments may be capped in units where the maximum venue capacity has been reached. Students must attend at least 70% of classes in order to satisfy class attendance requirements. Participation in all scheduled sessions of an intensive unit is essential. Exemption may only be considered by the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer upon satisfactory evidence of compelling grounds i.e. sudden illness or serious misadventure which occur during an intensive unit. Students with an unsatisfactory attendance record may be refused permission to undertake assessment tasks in the unit, and must therefore discontinue the unit.
(4)Requests to withdraw from a unit of study subsequent to the relevant census date will result in a “Discontinued – not to count as failure” (DNF). Criteria for awarding a DNF is available at Postgraduate Coursework Exams, Special Consideration and Results Information page. Students who do not formally discontinue (DNF) may receive an Absent Fail (AF) grade for the unit concerned.
