2012 Postgraduate Deadlines for enrolments and withdrawals

2012 Fee policy

100% tuition fee liability or FEE-HELP debt will be incurred after the relevant census date below. No refund is payable for withdrawal requests received subsequent to these dates.

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.

*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) grade being recorded against the unit on the student’s academic record. A DNF request must be received prior to the commencement of the final unit assessment task. A DNF will not be granted once a student has attempted the final assessment task in a unit. Once DNF request has been approved it cannot be withdrawn. DNF does not represent an academic failure. The student will incur a full fee liability for the unit and will not be eligible for a refund.

(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, e-Learning 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% (80% student visa holders) 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) Students who do not formally discontinue (DNF) by this date may receive an Absent Fail (AF) grade for the unit concerned.
