Commonwealth Supported Places

Students in Commonweath Supported Places

Students enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) will be charged a Student Contribution Amount for each enrolled unit of study. The Student Contribution Amount will vary depending on the unit's Student Contribution Band. Your student contribution pays a proportion of the cost of your course and the remainder of your cost is funded by the Commonwealth Grant Scheme. For more information about Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS-HELP, please visit http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/.

To assist you in calculating your CSP fees, please use the following information:

• Search for the Student Contribution Charge amount and credit points for each unit.
• Additional information about invoicing and due dates

Alternatively Commonwealth supported students wishing to calculate the cost of their units each study period should:

• Establish your fee admission status (Commonwealth Supported or Full Fee). Full Fee students must use the Full Fee table; and
• Commonwealth supported students should read your Commonwealth Support and HECS-HELP booklet and refer to this for your eligibility and the details of what you need to do; and
• Identify the unit(s) by field of study that you will study and the year of admission or re-entry to your course and
• From the student contribution charge table, select the appropriate rate for each unit of study.
• Student contribution charges are indexed each year by the Commonwealth Government.
•  Students studying units in different bands will be invoiced by unit at different rates in the same course.
• Under certain circumstances students who initially enrolled in a commonwealth supported place may be required to enrol in some units on a fee-paying basis.

Student Contribution Bands

¹ In the 2007 Budget, the Australian Government introduced changes to higher education funding from 2008 as part of the Realising Our Potential package. These include an increase to the maximum student contribution amount for units of study in accounting, administration, economics and commerce. Students who commence a course before 1 January 2008 will be charged at the band 5 rates. Students who commenced their course after 1 January 2008 will be charged at the band 3 rates. More information about these changes can be found at http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/.

² Students who commenced their course of study prior to 1 January 2009 will be charged at the rates under Band 6 for Mathematics, Statistics, or Science units. Students who commenced their course or transfer to a natural science course after 1 January 2009 will be charged at the band 4 rates. More information about these changes can be found at http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/.

Deferred charges per EFTSL* and per 6 credit point (cp) unit

Upfront (discounted¹) charges per EFTSL* and per 6 credit point (cp) unit

¹ New Zealand Citizens and Permanent Residents in Commonwealth Supported Places are not eligible for the discounted rate and should use the Deferred charges table to determine the amount of their units

^* The amount shown (EFTSL) represents the cost of full-time enrolment for a full year. This is 48 credit points or 4 units per semester and will vary depending on the course and units studied. The Student Contribution Charge is subject to increases each year.

Students may withdraw from a unit without financial penalty prior to census date each study period. However you should note that to withdraw without financial penalty after the census date (remission of HECS-HELP debt and re-credit of Student Learning Entitlement) has very strict legal requirements.

Transitional Fee Arrangements

Both the federal government’s transitional arrangements for pre-2005 and pre-1997 students and the special rate for the 2005 cohort of students will end on 31 December 2008, regardless of whether students have completed their course. From 1 January 2009, continuing students in these cohorts will be treated as pre-2008 students (for accounting, administration, economics and commerce units) or pre-2009 students (mathematics, statistics and science units).
