Removal of Financial Liability in Special Circumstances

Students who are enrolled on and past the last date to withdraw without financial penalty are liable to pay for that enrolment. Students should check all important dates in the Calendar of Principal Dates (Academic Calendar) published in the Student Handbook.

Sometimes, however, for a variety of reasons, special circumstances occur that:

  • are beyond the student’s control, AND
  • do not make their full impact until on or after census date, AND
  • make it impracticable for the student to complete their course requirements.

In these cases, students should consult the relevant policy and submit to CQUniversity for consideration an application and supporting documentation in accord with that policy.
