Deadlines for enrolment changes
When you make changes to your enrolment matters a lot – it can affect both your fees and your academic record. To avoid unexpected costs or academic penalties, try to make any changes before the deadlines for your course(s) or programme.
Each of your courses has two important deadlines based on when the course starts and ends:
- Enrolment withdrawal date: changes after this date have financial consequences
- Academic withdrawal date: changes after this date have academic consequences (grades that affect your academic record)

You can find the exact dates for your course(s) and programme in your course enrolment record in My AUT.
