OK, while registering for UTS's B. Business, I came across this question: "Are you a Pre-2005 student?" Which I obviously am not, since I'm ENROLLING into it right now! I've also noticed that the HECS booklet which came with my offer letter also talks a lot about "Pre-2005 students" and how they are eligible to get HECS-HELP. What's the difference between HECS-HELP and Commenwealth-support (HECS) places?
My question is this: I'm an Australian Permanent Resident, and I'm obviously NOT a "Pre-2005 student". From what I've read in that booklet, I would have to pay my fees up front and I'm not eligible for HECS-HELP. Wtf!!! Is this true? I am only eligible to get my Aussie citizenship in July this year. Anybody else in the same position as me?
