Withdraw from subjects or your course

You can withdraw from your subjects online at any time. However, you must ensure you withdraw before the subject Census Date if you don't want to be financially liable for that subject.

If you have withdrawn from a subject after the Census Date, due to special circumstances which were beyond your control, you may be able to apply for a refund and withdrawal under special circumstances.

It's easy to withdraw from a subject:

• Log in to MyStudent
• Click on the My Study tile
• Select Manage my Course under your current degree
• Select Withdraw from a Subject in the side menu
• Select the checkbox for the subject you want to withdraw from and click Confirm
• You will be given the opportunity to confirm your withdrawal request
• A withdrawal confirmation page will then be displayed listing the subjects that you have successfully been withdrawn from.

However, please note that some Placement/ Professional Experience subjects will require a request for withdrawal.

Every time you change your enrolment it's also a good idea to go back and confirm your enrolment – just in case. In MyStudent > My Study > click Manage my Course under the relevant course > Overview.  You can also request an Enrolment Advice be emailed to your JCU email account from Self Service Reports. If you are receiving a scholarship, make sure you check the rules first as withdrawing from a subject may affect payment. Contact the JCU Scholarships team if you need help with this.

Before withdrawing from your course, it's a good idea to consider the different options and resources available to you:

• Consider changing your enrolment. Contact your Enrolment Team for advice about changing your major, your study load, or switching from on-campus to external study.
• Consider changing your course. Meet with an Enrolment Officer for advice.
• Not sure if you're in the right course for your chosen career path? Contact a Careers Counsellor for advice.
• Talk to a Student Support Officer from your College. They can help you achieve your educational goals and connect you with relevant support services.
• Visit The Learning Centre for tips on study skills.
• Need a break from studying? Find out about the options for leave of absence.
• Are personal issues affecting your studies? Make an appointment with a JCU Counsellor. They can help with a range of issues and offer free, confidential counselling to students studying on and off campus.
• If you have completed a minimum of eight undergraduate or four postgraduate subjects in your course, you may be able to graduate with a different award. Contact your Enrolment Team.
