If you enrol in a domestic full-fee place, you are considered to be a full-fee paying student.
This means you will need to pay the full amount for all units you are enrolled in before census date.
Calculating your fees
Course pages display all of the units that make up your course, including core, professional and elective units.
The amount you pay for your course is the sum of the full-fee amount for the units you are enrolled in.
Download a list of all higher education units and fees for domestic students, including EFTSL (equivalent full-time student load ) and full-fee amount.
You can also search for individual unit fees in MYVU Portal.
Getting HELP with your fees
Eligible students enrolled in a full-fee paying place may be able to get help paying their fees through the Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP), administered by the Government.
There are HELP loans available to assist you with the cost of your course.
FEE-HELP
FEE-HELP is a loan scheme to help eligible full-fee paying students pay for all or part of their tuition. It cannot be used for additional study costs such as accommodation or text books. The total amount of FEE‑HELP a person can use is known as the ‘FEE‑HELP limit’.
Once you start using FEE‑HELP, the amount of FEE‑HELP you have left to use is known as your ‘FEE‑HELP balance’, which you can check on your Commonwealth Assistance Notice.
Read more about FEE-HELP and how to apply on the Study Assist website.
Borrowing limits
Eligible students can borrow up to the FEE‑HELP limit to pay their tuition fees. For 2017, the FEE‑HELP limit is $100,879 for most students.
This is a lifetime limit and is not reset or ‘topped up’ by any repayments that you make. The FEE‑HELP limit is the total amount available to eligible students under both the FEE‑HELP and VET FEE‑HELP loan schemes. Any amount you borrow under either FEE‑HELP or VET FEE‑HELP will reduce your FEE‑HELP balance until you have reached the FEE‑HELP limit.
Student services & amenities (SA-HELP)
SA‑HELP is a loan scheme that assists eligible students to pay for all or part of their student services and amenities fee.
