Late fees

Every semester some International students have a problem paying their fees. It is all fine for the local students who have HECS (student loan system vy the Government) in which they can defer the payment. International students cannot. We explain your rights and services that can assist students in paying.

Each semester students have to pay somewhere between $12000- $30000 in fees.

What happens if I don't pay my fees on time?
If you don't pay on time, the universities will charge a late fee. The fee can depend on which uni you are studying at as some charge lower fees and others not so much.

If you don't pay within a certain amount of time then your enrollment may be cancelled, your results withheld, you cannot graduate etc

I can't pay my fees on time what do I do?
Most universities have a financial service in which you can explain your situation to them and they can help do a financial plan in which you pay a certain amount every two to four weeks until it is all paid off. It is free and confidential for all students.

But of course if you don't feel comfortable explaining the situation or you can't understand their policy you can see your Student Advocacy service as they can help you out in explaining your situation.

You do need some supporting documentation eg. your bank statements detailing your income

Have you ever had trouble paying your fees? If so do tell us below.
