2.7 Late Withdrawal from a Course

If you need to drop a course after the deadline to drop the course without failure, you may be eligible to apply for a Late Withdrawal. Late Withdrawals may be granted to students who encounter unavoidable and unexpected extenuating circumstances that impede their successful completion of a course where the circumstances occur or are exacerbated after the deadline to drop the course without failure. A Late Withdrawal is a withdrawal without failure (WL).

Circumstances that may be considered for a Late Withdrawal include:

• Significant illness;
• Death of a family member;
• Professional redeployment;
• Unavoidable travel.

To apply for a Late Withdrawal, you are required to write a letter or email to:

Manager, Enrolments and Student Records
Pauline Griffin Building (11) ANU
Canberra ACT 0200
enrolments@anu.edu.au

Supporting documentation (such as medical certificates) must be included that clearly support your claims and include the relevant dates/timeframes.

Recipients of a Late Withdrawal may, but not necessarily, be entitled to a fee refund, remission of HELP debt and/or remission of Student Learning Entitlement (SLE). For a remission of debt or SLE, fill out and submit an Application for Remission of SLE & Associated Debt form.
