2021 census and payment due dates
Ensure that you pay all course fees by the payment due date to avoid incurring a $200 late payment fee.
You can refer to our How to pay page for more information on paying your fees.
The census date for a unit is the last date that you can withdraw from a unit without incurring any academic penalty or financial liability for that unit. You can view census dates of your enrolled units in eStudent. Go to My Enrolment tab then select the menu option 'Check Unit Enrolment & Print Timetable'.
You will be liable for unit fees for any units you remain enrolled in at census date.
Where the 'Payment due date' column offers a range of due dates – for example in vacation study periods – or where you are studying at a campus other than North Ryde, refer to your Statement of Outstanding Charges on eStudent for the due date that applies to the units enrolled in.
