IMPORTANT UPDATE: Some information on this page has been amended due to operational changes made in light of COVID-19
The following amendments have been made to this page (last updated 7 April 2020):
- Administrative dates: Semester 1, 2020 Census Date has been moved to 8 May. Withdrawn without failure (WD) grade will appear on a transcript when a course has been dropped after Census Date but before 10 June 2020.
