Withdrawals
By enrolling into a unit of study you acknowledge you have reviewed the related dates; including semester start and end, academic and financial penalty dates, including the census date, along with the related penalties that may be imposed for variation to or withdrawal of that enrolment.
Refer to the Terms and Conditions of Enrolment for full details.
- The Census Date is the last day you can withdraw from a Unit without being financially liable.
- The Last Withdraw Without Fail Date is the last day that you can withdraw from a Unit without academic penalty (failing).
- To withdraw from a Unit (or from your Program) an Amendment of Program Form must be submitted to CPEE by the Census Date. It is not sufficient to advise the lecturer/Unit Chair that you will no longer be participating. If you do not wish to remain enrolled in a unit, you must formally withdraw from enrolment in that unit.
- All withdrawals after the census date will incur financial liability, however you may withdraw from a unit without academic penalty until the Last Withdraw Without Fail Date.
- The census date and academic withdrawal date are published as part of the Semesters Dates on the CPEE Website.

Refunds
The Census Date is the last day you can withdraw from a Unit without being financially liable.
You are eligible for a full refund of your semester fees:
- If you withdraw before the semester census date for your unit and have paid the relevant unit and any associated fees.
You are not eligible for a refund:
- If you withdraw after the semester census date of your unit,
- For units already undertaken, whether completed or not,
- If you do not complete the program within its mandatory timeframe, in which case your enrolment expires without refund, unless you have applied for and been approved for an extension.
In exceptional circumstances, an exemption may be granted and a partial refund, less an administration fee, may be approved. This is at the discretion of the CEO and must be applied for in writing.

Financial Liability
CPEE Semester Unit fees are charged upfront, per unit, per semester. You must finalise your payment arrangements prior to the start of the semester.
- Your unit fee is payable by the issued invoice due date or at the latest by semester orientation date, whichever comes first.
- If you have not paid your unit fee by the Orientation date your login to the Student System will not be activated, therefore you will not have access to your study material.
- If your unit fee has still not been paid after the semester census date, you will incur a financial liability for the debt and you will be administratively withdrawn from the unit.
Employer Payments
If your employer is covering all or part of the cost of your semester fees it is your responsibility to ensure that sufficient time is allowed to make arrangements for the payment.
Non Payment of fees may lead to:
Restriction of your Student Access
- If the semester has started and you still owe part or all of your fees, your access to the Student Sysem will be suspended
Restrictions on your Enrolment
- You will not be able to access your results or get an Academic Transcript or certificates
- You will not be eligible to graduate
Restrictions will be lifted on confirmation of payment of the full outstanding amount.
Cancellation of your Enrolment
- Your enrolment may be terminated
- You will still incur the financial liability
If there is an outstanding debt associated with your program, please contact CPEE for payment options.
