What is a census date and why does it matter?

The census date is the last day you can withdraw from a unit without paying for it and without it appearing on your record. After that date you are liable for the fees and a withdrawal is recorded. Census dates differ by teaching period, so check the date for your specific unit rather than assuming one date covers the semester. At the Malaysia campus, a unit withdrawn after the census date shows as WD-LATE or WD-FAIL, and the dates are in Monash Malaysia's Principal Dates.

How do I withdraw from a unit?

Australia: withdraw through WES while enrolment changes are open. Before the census date there is no fee and no record; after it, you keep the fee liability and the unit shows as a withdrawal. If you are on a student visa you have study load requirements to maintain: Monash's study load page says you can reduce your load only in compassionate or compelling circumstances, unless you are in your final year and will finish within the time on your CoE. Malaysia: after the census date a withdrawn unit shows as WD-LATE or WD-FAIL, and the date you withdraw can affect fee refunds and your academic record. The last day to withdraw without academic penalty is before the WD-LATE date ends; the dates are in Monash Malaysia's Principal Dates. With a Student Pass, going below 24 credit points a semester is an underload: it needs approval, it can never go below 18 credit points, and below 18 you have to apply for intermission.

When do results come out?

All campuses

Results are released per teaching period on the dates published in the official results calendar, and appear in WES. A grade can be withheld if there is an outstanding matter such as unpaid fees or an academic integrity process.
