2008 Tuition fees for Australian Postgraduate Coursework Students

FEE-HELP Scheme

If you are an Australian citizen or an eligible Australian permanent resident and are enrolling in a Postgraduate fee-paying non-research program, you are required to pay a tuition fee set by the University, for each course within the program.

You can pay this in two ways:

Pay the fee up-front to the University.
Apply for an interest free loan from the Government through the FEE-HELP Scheme (previously known as the Postgraduate Education Loans Scheme). The Government then pays your fee direct to the University and when you are earning more than $39,825 per year you pay instalments back to the Government via the PAYG tax system.

More information on the new Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) and how it can be paid can be found at: www.backingaustraliasfuture.gov.au/student_info/student_info.htm

Census Dates

Census dates are the dates by which you must finalise your arrangements for payment of your fees by:

submitting your completed Request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP form, or
submitting your request for a FEE-HELP loan, or
making an upfront payment of your student contribution or fees.

If you do not make these arrangements by the census date your enrolment may be cancelled.

After the census date students are financially and academically liable for courses they have enrolled in.
