Remission of HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP and Post-Census Withdrawal Tuition Refund Applications

The University of New England recognises that occasions may arise in which students find it necessary to withdraw from a unit after the census date. In such cases, the academic penalty may be waived and the fees reversed if the unit is withdrawn for special circumstances including:

  • medical, family, or personal

  • employment related

  • university error

To be eligible to apply for re-credit of student learning entitlement and remission of fees, it must be demonstrated that the special circumstances:

  • are beyond the your control; and

  • do not make their full impact on the student until on, or after, the census date; and

  • make it impracticable for you to complete the requirements for the course during the period during which the student undertook the course.

Students must apply in writing within 12 months of the end of the period of study in which the course was or was to be undertaken. You are required to complete an application form, including original or certified supporting documentation and submit to:

The Remissions Assessment Officer
Student Administration and Services
The University of New England
Armidale NSW 2351

Further information about Re-crediting of Student Learning Entitlement and Remission of HECS-HELP / FEE-HELP debt may be found at http://www.studyassist.gov.au/ .
