'Census Date' refers to the final date that students receiving VET Student Loan (VSL) or FEE-HELP (FH) assistance can withdraw from a unit of study (CRN) and not incur a Commonwealth debt. Each CRN you register into may have a different census date and you must complete your application for a VET Student Loan or FEE-HELP prior to a CRN census date to have the fees for that CRN paid for by your Commonwealth loan. For VET Student Loans – A CRN must be registered at least 15 days prior to the census date for the CRN to be eligible to be deferred to a VET Student Loan. The census date is calculated as the CRN start date plus 20% of the course duration (e.g. a 10 week CRN started on 01 January will have a census date 2 weeks (20% of 10 weeks) after it has started - 14 January) You will have received a list of CRNs to register into on your TAFE SA welcome letter or at your enrolment counselling session. To help you work out your census date for each CRN, TAFE SA has provided the following calculator. |
