What Are Census Dates and Why Are They Important?
Census dates mark the deadline for finalising enrolment and fee payments for each session. After this date, withdrawing from a course may result in financial liability and academic penalties. It’s vital to be aware of these deadlines to avoid unexpected fees and to keep your academic progress on track.
Study Vacations and Exam Periods
UTS schedules mid-session and final study vacations to give students dedicated time for exam preparation. The final assessment periods follow these breaks, with options for rescheduled exams to accommodate unforeseen circumstances.
Planning Tips for UTS Students
- Mark key dates early: Use the UTS calendar to plan your enrolment, study, and breaks.
- Attend orientation: Orientation sessions provide essential information and support for a strong start.
- Meet census deadlines: Ensure enrolment and fee payments are completed on time.
