Student asking about refund and transcript impact for withdrawing a unit, needs census date confirmation.

It depends on whether you withdraw before or after the **census date** for your teaching period: * **Before the census date:** Yes, you won't be charged for the unit [1], [2]. If you've already paid the fees, the amount will be adjusted on your fee statement and carried forward as a credit to offset your future tuition fees [1], [3]. The unit will also not show up on your academic record [2]. * **After the census date:** Generally, no refund is provided if you withdraw after the census date has passed [1]. The only exception is if you experienced unexpected, severe circumstances beyond your control (like a serious illness), in which case you can apply for a refund or fee remission under special circumstances [1]. Do you know which teaching period or semester the unit belongs to? I can help you check the census date.

The last date to drop a unit without paying is the **Census Date** for that semester [1]: * **Semester 1 (S1-01):** 31 March 2026 [1] * **Semester 2 (S2-01):** 31 August 2026 [1] * **Full-year (FY-01):** 6 May 2026 [1] ### How it affects your academic record / transcript: * **Before or on the Census Date:** The unit is completely removed — it **will not appear** on your academic record or transcript, and you won't be charged [1]. * **After the Census Date (up to the Withdrawn deadline):** You will still be charged the fees, and the unit will show on your record as **Withdrawn (WDN)** [1]. * **Late withdrawal (after the Withdrawn deadline):** You will be charged, and the unit will show on your record as **Withdrawn Fail (WN)** [1].
