VCE withdrawals

Withdrawals will only be supported on compassionate grounds where an application has been made by the school and approved by the VCAA.

Withdrawing a student from a VCE Unit 4 study may affect their eligibility to complete their VCE or VCE VM.
Schools should run student eligibility reports before and after making any changes to a student’s program to ensure that students intending to complete a senior secondary certificate in 2026 will meet eligibility requirements.

Schools are advised to be mindful when withdrawing students from VCE Unit 4 studies, as a late fee may apply if a student is incorrectly withdrawn and needs to be re-enrolled.

Action

Principals/Directors, should ensure:

  • Coordinators and VASS Administrators enter the required scores in VASS by the due date
  • VCE Unit 4 or scored VCE VET Unit 3-4 UoC withdrawals are actioned on VASS by the due date

Critical dates

Monday 27 July: Last day for Unit 3 School-assessed Task scores, and last day for VCE Unit 4 and scored VCE VET Unit 3-4 sequence withdrawal.
