Â鶹´«Ã½AV

If you want to withdraw from your ANU program, you will need to formally notify the University.

Your withdrawal will be effective from the date your application is received by the University.

If you stop attending classes but do not notify the University that you wish to withdraw, you will remain an enrolled student and will be charged fees and receive fail results for any remaining enrolled courses.

Additionally, for students studying in Australia on a Student Visa, withdrawing from your program may have significant visa implications (please refer to the 'Changing to another Â鶹´«Ã½AV university' section and 'Step 4' below).

Program withdrawal is final. To be eligible to return to study to ANU, you will need to submit a new application and be assessed for admission to the University.

Changing to another Â鶹´«Ã½AV university (Student Visa holders only)

Student Visa holders leaving ANU prior to completing six months of their study require a release from ANU to enrol at another registered education provider. To apply for a release, Student Visa holders must complete and submit a Release Request form along with all the following supporting documentation to policy.regs@anu.edu.au:

• Valid full offer letter from other registered education provider. Note that an offer that is provisional or conditional upon Academic or English requirements will not be accepted;
• Original current visa and passport;
• Evidence that the principal program at ANU is academically unsuitable, or that compassionate or compelling reasons for the transfer exist;
• For students under the age of 18, written confirmation that your parent or legal guardian supports the transfer, or that the new registered education provider will accept responsibility for approving your accommodation, support and general welfare. 

You will be notified of the outcome of your request via email within 10 working days of lodgement of a complete application (including all supporting documentation). If your request for a release is approved, you will be advised when your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) has been cancelled. After you have received this notification you will need to contact the Department of Home Affiars to seek advice on whether a new student visa is required.
