Important dates
Census dates
Census dates are very important dates and form the basis of many enrolment deadlines. Every course has a census date.
Approved changes made to enrolment on or before the relevant course census date will not be reflected on your academic transcript.

| First semester | 31 March |
| Second semester | 31 August |
| Non-standard sessions | The census date for courses run in non-standard sessions (summer, autumn, winter and spring) differ depending on the course. See the specific course entry on Study at ANU for census date information for that course. |
