4. Student Fees

4.8 How Much Do I Have to Pay?

Domestic students and holders of a Permanent Humanitarian visa are eligible for HECS-HELP. The HECS-HELP student contribution amount is based on the discipline of the individual courses in which a student is enrolled.

Remember that a new program = the new rate. For students that are transferring to a new program (including changes from a combined to single degree program) in 2009 , you will be charged at the 2009 student cohort rate.

Please note that if you are a student studying Accounting, Administration, Economics or Commerce courses and were enrolled pre 2008, you will be charged at the pre 2008 rates for these courses, dependent on your year of commencement for your current program.

Students commencing a new program in 2009
Eligible students that commence a new program of study at ANU in 2009 will be charged at the scheduled 2009 rate.

Students commencing a program/course of study in 2009 will be required to pay up to the maximum of the national priorities rate ($4,162 indexed for later years) for any mathematics, statistics and science courses that they undertake. Students who commenced a non-natural and physical sciences program prior to 1 January 2009 and who transfer into a natural and physical science program will also be eligible for the National Priority amount. Other students continue to pay up to the Band 2 maximum ($7,412 indexed for later years) for mathematics, statistics and science courses.

How to Calculate your Equivalent Full-Time Student Load (EFTSL)

Program with a Full-Time Equivalent Load of 48 units per year
EFTSL value of 1 course worth 6 units	6 ÷ 48 = 0.125 EFTSL
EFTSL value of 4 courses each worth 6 units per semester	4 x 0.125 = 0.5 EFTSL
EFTSL value of 8 courses each worth 6 units per year	8 x 0.125 = 1 EFTSL

Student Learning Entitlement (SLE)

Commonwealth Supported students consume Student Learning Entitlement (SLE) on the Census Date for the course. SLE is reduced by the equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL), for example you start with 7 SLE and you use .5 EFTSL this will leave 6.5 SLE remaining.

To see the exact EFTSL and fee per course see the Study@ANU website.
