As a University student, it is important for you to understand that deadlines apply for most administrative procedures (eg; enrolling in and withdrawing from units of study).

It is also important for you to be aware that there may be consequences for not adhering to particular deadlines. Observing these deadlines is required in part by the Commonwealth government and in some cases by University rules. The table below shows the Principal Administrative Dates for domestic Semester-based students in 2008.
