A provider must set census days for each course. There must be at least 3 census days for the course. Each census day for part of the course must be at least 20% of the way between when that part of the course commences and when a student is expected to complete that part of the course. The census day calculator assists providers calculate a census day, when inputting the start and end date for a unit.
NOTE: The calculator does not return dates occurring on a Saturday or Sunday. Where the calculated date occurs on a weekend, the date of the following Monday is returned. It is a provider’s responsibility to check whether the date returned is a public holiday. Where the date returned is a public holiday it is advisable to set the census date on a subsequent business day.
Please report any issues with this calculator to the department.
