* NOTE A census date is a critical date regarding a student's enrolment in each enrolment period (EP). The census dates determine the point at which a financial liability is incurred for a course or unit. Unless otherwise specified, students must finalise all enrolments matters (including fees for fee-paying students) in a semester or term before the census date. Because of the flexibility in commencement/enrolment dates for new HDR students, the census dates are sometimes calculated differently. See Postgraduate Research Fee Information website for further information on calculation of census dates.
