When Should I Use this Form?
This form should be used by any student who wishes to apply for Remission of HELP Debt or Refund of fees AFTER THE CENSUS DATE due to Special Circumstances that are beyond their control (see ‘What are Special Circumstances?’ below).
A successful application will result in the cancellation of HELP loan debt, or refund of any upfront payments made, in relation to the course(s) remitted. If you are in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) the Student Learning entitlement (SLE) for the course(s) will be re-credited. If you have a FEE-HELP loan the loan limit will be adjusted accordingly.
You should use this form if:
• the census date has passed and you are unable to continue studying because of Special Circumstances
OR
• you were unable to successfully complete the course because of Special Circumstances.
If your application is for the current semester/trimester of study you will need to withdraw from the course(s) you are seeking remission for.
DO NOT USE THIS FORM IF:
• you have withdrawn from the course(s) before Census Date – you will not have incurred any penalties
OR
• you have already successfully completed the course(s)
OR
• the Special Circumstances outlined below are not applicable – this application will be rejected.
