Sometimes plans go a different way, industries change or you change your mind. Think about if you can apply to transfer to another course at Charles Sturt.
Before you transfer courses, book an appointment with one of our career counsellors. You can book an appointment to discuss course indecision or career planning. You can also access programs, assessments, advice and tools in Your Career Portal.
Build your skills and knowledge with short preparation courses through Study Link.
Or you can develop your study skills for referencing, academic writing, learning, maths, literacy and more. We do this through our online workshops, appointments, assignment feedback, study guides and lots more.
The university offers a range of Awards;
Before you decide to cancel your studies we recommend that you check if you're eligible to graduate with a lower level award.
For example if you're enrolled in a Bachelor degree, you may be eligible to graduate sooner with a Certificate or Diploma.
Seek the advice of your Course Coordinator or Course Director to check if you're eligible. They might also be able to suggest some alternatives, for example;
You may apply for a maximum of four sessions leave of absence in a four year period. See the eligibility requirements and more information about this option.
You can cancel your enrolment with an easy online form in the same place where you change your enrolment. Follow the prompts in the form and complete the exit survey at the end. Then we will process your request.
We’ll remove your subject/s from your transcript and finalise your cancellation.
You will not have to pay HECS or any fees for your subject/s if you cancel your enrolment before census date.
If you cancel your enrolment after the session census date, we will still process your request to cancel. We will award final grades for your subject/s at the end of the session.
You will still be liable to pay HECS or fees for subject/s if you cancel your enrolment after census date.
Late or approved withdrawals do not qualify you for a refund of your fees. You will need to submit an Application for Reimbursement separately from a Special Consideration application. We can’t accept an Application for Reimbursement until you finalise your subject grades.
You will need to either:
Check your financial balances with us and pay any outstanding fees. We cannot process your request to cancel until you pay all outstanding fees.
You can order a transcript to get a record of your completed subjects for any future studies or job applications.
Check your Library record and return any library books you’ve borrowed. Not returning books you’ve borrowed may result in fines to replace the books.
Email us to cancel your accommodation. Include in the subject line ‘Accommodation cancellation’. Include in the email your full name and student ID number.
