Important Information

Student Amenities Fee (SA Fee)

On 11 October 2011, the Australian Parliament passed legislation allowing universities and other higher education providers to charge a fee for student services and amenities of a non-academic nature.  The fee may be spent by higher education providers on items such as sporting and recreational activities, employment and career advice, child care, financial advice and food services from 2012.  Please check the following web site for further information:

Invoices

All invoices will be available in ISIS to view or download. An email will be sent to your student email account when your invoice has been published. It is your responsibility to ensure that any external email address linked to your student email account is active at all times. Please check your student account on a regular basis as this is the way the university will correspond with you.

 

Graduate programs offered as Commonwealth Supported Places

Some of the Colleges at the ANU are able to offer their Graduate students Commonwealth Supported Places, but these places may be limited and are based on merit. This means that eligible students will be charged at the Commonwealth supported rate of HECS instead of as full fee paying students. Please contact your College for further information.

 

HECS-HELP booklets can be picked up at Student Administration the Student Exchange (Building X-005) 121 Marcus Clarke Street

or you can view the contents at www.goingtouni.gov.au

For further information please contact the college.

Australian citizens, permanent humanitarian visa holders

Australian citizens and holders of permanent humanitarian visas enrolling in a graduate coursework program are required to pay Domestic Tuition Fees (DTF) and are also eligible for a government loan to help with meeting your fees. The Loan is called FEE-HELP

You can pay your DTF in one of three ways:

  1. pay your entire DTF up-front.
  2. pay for part of your DTF up-front, and receive a government loan (called FEE-HELP) for the remainder of your fees, which you defer paying back through the tax system when you start to earn a salary above the repayment threshold.
  3. receive a government loan (called FEE-HELP) for your entire DTF, which you defer paying back through the tax system when you start to earn a salary above the repayment threshold.

Read the fact sheet for more information.

Fact Sheet 2012

If you would like to take up the option of the FEE-HELP loan, you will need to complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form ('e-CAF') when you enrol through ISIS. You will also need to supply your Tax File Number (TFN). Your e-CAF MUST BE COMPLETED by the first course census date that you wish to defer, or you will be liable to pay the fees yourself by the due date.

All graduate students who have chosen not to take a FEE-HELP loan and who are paying their entire fees up front will receive an email advising that their invoice is available in ISIS to download or view early in each semester which sets out their DTF liability.

Students who wish to pay their DTF up-front or partially up-front must do so by the due date or you will incur a $125 late fee.

Students who wish to defer paying their DTF and instead take the FEE-HELP loan will have their loan amount notified to the Australian Taxation Office. Within 28 days of the census date, a Commonwealth Assistance Notice (CAN) will be made available in ISIS for download.  The CAN is under the menu and is called an eCAN. The CAN shows how much your FEE-HELP loan is for. You should keep a copy of your CAN for taxation purposes.

For further information, including due dates for DTF payments, see section 4 of the SEAP Guide.
