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.

The following Colleges may offer some of their Graduate programs as Commonwealth Supported.

ANU College of Business and Economics
ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science
ANU College of Science
ANU College of Asia and the Pacific
ANU College of Law

HECS-HELP booklets can be picked up at Student Administration the Pauline Griffin Bldg#11 or you can view the contents at www.goingtouni.gov.au

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:

Read the fact sheet for more information.

Fact Sheet 2008

Fact Sheet 2009

Commencing students in this tuition fee category will be sent a booklet on FEE-HELP Information, in their offer pack. 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 be emailed an invoice early in each semester setting out the DTF liability.

Students who wish to pay their DTF up-front or partially up-front must do so by the due date.

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 5 of the SEAP Guide.
