What is the definition of census date? The date immediately after which the full tuition fee for the PTC course accrues as a debt is the census date. The census date falls approximately one fifth (20%) into the course. What does the Census Date mean for enrolled students? - Non FEE-HELP Student: withdrawal after the census date means the full tuition fee is owed to Leo Cussen Institute. The incurring of the debt is subject to the Institute’s “special circumstances” discretion (similar in principle to the procedure followed for a FEE-HELP student).
- FEE HELP Student: withdrawal after the census date by a FEE-HELP student means the full tuition fee is debited from your FEE-HELP balance. Essentially, the full debt becomes owed to the Australian Government and payable through the Australian Taxation Office. The incurring of the debt is subject to “special circumstances” as required by the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Cth). For “special circumstances” to apply Leo Cussen Institute must be satisfied that such circumstances were (a) beyond your control and (b) did not make their full impact until or after the census date and (c) were such that they made it impracticable for you to complete your study requirements.
