Fees
Contents
Don't forget: At UNE there are a range of Scholarships available to new students. These can help to cover college fees, and text book and course expenses.
When to Pay
After you have read through the Fee Schedule there are a number of ways that you can make payments. Payments can be made for the year, by semester or term, or in smaller, regular instalments.
As a student, if you are ever worried about payment, think a payment might be late, or are unsure whether you have made a payment, please contact the office immediately. The office staff are there to help you, they aren’t mean or scary and they'll understand your payment queries.
How to pay
Ways to Pay Fees and top up your meal card:- BPAY payments are easy because your internet banking sight saves the details for you. Simply contact the office for your individual BPAY details. Remember that it can take up to four days for the payment to come through so don’t leave it until your meal card has already run out!
- POSTPAY payment details can be emailed or posted to you so that you can pay over the phone or at the post office.
- EFTPOS facilities are available at the college office. You can put money on your room phone (min $20), your meal card, or pay your fees with your EFTPOS card.
- Cheques can be sent to Drummond and Smith College, UNE, NSW, 2351. Please ensure that the student’s name on the back of the cheque.
- Cash. Please try not to pay with cash. We prefer that students do not have large amounts of cash with them for safety reasons.
- International tranfer. If you are an overseas student you can pay either by Visa or Mastercard credit card, or you can contact finrev@une.edu.au to ask about making an international transfer.
As can be seen in Other Charges on the Fee Schedule, we ask students to load their meal cards with $500 at the start of the year. Some students will spend this amount in one term, some will budget really well and spend it over two terms. During office hours students can come and top up their meal card. A minimum of two hundred dollars is required. If parents are paying for meal card top-ups they can do so in any of the ways mentioned above. Simply inform the college office that a BPAY has been made, or a cheque sent, specifically for meal card loading.
Students; DON’T PANIC if you run out of money on, or forget, your meal card because you can always pay cash in the servery.
