full fee paying... (1 Viewer)

Are the fees quoted on a yearly basis? (ie $18000 for combined law)

And, is anyone can help me, what are the payment options if you are a fee paying student?

Yes, yearly. I'd doubt many people could afford it if it was based on a per session system.

yes its yearly, but its based on how many units of study you do, so if you dont do the full 48 credit points, you only pay for those that you do. ie- in first semester you'd have to pay $9000 up front if you were doing 24 credit points (a normal full time load), then in second semester you'd pay the rest.

You have to pay up front, at the beginning of each semester. but from next year there will be fee-help, which will work in the same way as HECS in that you can defer your payment until after you have finished your course. Heres the website

hope that helps!

Will they increase the fee-help threshold beyond $50k as they have suggested?

That question will only be relevant if the Liberals remain in power, though, I think.

i dont know, but in my course, $50,000 wouldnt even pay for the first two years, so whats the point of that? you'd think with a $5 billion surplus the government would stop being so stingy and actually use it for something worthwhile.
