  2. Financial Assistance: For domestic students, it is the deadline to apply for or adjust your Commonwealth assistance, such as HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP.
  3. Academic Record: It is the last day to withdraw from a course without it appearing on your academic transcript. If you withdraw after the census date, it will be recorded as a withdrawal (W) or fail (F).
  4. Enrolment Status: It is the final date to confirm your enrolment status, including course additions or withdrawals.

The census date typically falls around four weeks into the semester, but the exact date can vary depending on the specific course and term.

For precise census dates, refer to the RMIT academic calendar or your course materials.

RMIT University typically operates on a two-semester academic year. Here’s a breakdown:
