Academic and financial penalties for unit discontinuation

If you discontinue a unit before the census date, you have 'Withdrawn early'. An exception is 'Withdrawn no load', which applies to some teaching periods.

If you discontinue after the census date but before the withdrawn fail date, you have 'Withdrawn late'.

If you discontinue after the withdrawn fail date, your record will show 'Withdrawn fail'. This will affect your grade point average
