Remission of debt

If you withdraw from a unit or course after census date, you might be eligible for remission of debt.

If you withdraw from a unit/s after the relevant census date and there are special circumstances, you can apply to have your:

  • HECS-HELP debt for those units remitted (cancelled)
  • FEE-HELP balance for those units re-credited
  • upfront payment of a student contribution or tuition fee refunded.

You can’t apply if you have finished the unit, are still enrolled, or have been found guilty of academic misconduct. If you’re waiting on a misconduct hearing, you’ll need to wait for the outcome before applying.
