Notes
* After the census date you can no longer withdraw from your subject and receive a refund or re-credit of your fees.
‡ Macquarie has a recess mid-way through each session. Tutors may not be available during these times.
^ Macquarie's Session 3 is an intensive study term. We suggest you enrol in only one or two subjects in Session 3, because you'll have less time to get through your studies.
# UTAS offers recess in Semesters only. There’s no recess for Terms, Spring, Winter or Sessions.

Notes
* After the census date you can no longer withdraw from your subject and receive a refund or re-credit of your fees.
^ Some subjects offered in these study periods are also offered in sessions. See your subject page for details.
‡ UNE subject DYPP500A Developing Your Professional Practice is run in study periods, but all other UNE subjects are offered in UNE trimesters.
† Macquarie has a recess mid-way through each session. Tutors may not be available during these times.
** Macquarie's Session 3 is an intensive study term. We suggest you enrol in only one or two subjects in Session 3, because you'll have less time to get through your studies.
Exam dates
If you want to plan ahead for exams, start here by looking up your uni’s exam key dates.
Where available, for each uni we’ve listed:
- The dates we publish exam timetables.
- The timeframes you can expect exams to be held—this is known as the exam period.
In some cases, unis manage their own exam timetabling. Where we can’t supply you with their exam key dates, we’ve offered advice about where to find information.
ACU manages all aspects of their exam delivery. If your subject includes an exam, they’ll send exam information directly to your uni email address.
