2010 Tuition fees for international students (varied commencement)
- Tuition fees for students commencing in Semester 2, 2010
- Tuition fees for international graduate students who commenced their course in 2009 or earlier
- Tuition fees for international students who commenced their course in 2004 or earlier
Students commencing in Semester 2, 2010
If you are commencing your course in Semester 2, 2010, your fees for your first semester of study will be those applying in 2010. For the first Semester of 2011, the fees you pay will be those approved for the 2011 academic year.
Tuition fees for students who commenced a graduate course in 2009 or earlier
International fee students who commenced their graduate course in 2009 or earlier will complete their study on a subject fee basis as per the fee policy that applied at the time they commenced their course. Discipline fees for graduate subjects will continue to be set each year and these will apply in the usual manner.
This will apply for as long as the student remains enrolled in the same course. If the student transfers to another course they are subject to the current fee policy and must pay the fees applicable at the time of transfer.
Students whose enrolment is terminated either for poor academic performance, disciplinary grounds or for failure to re-enrol in a timely fashion, if readmitted at any future time, will be required to pay fees according to the fee policy applicable at the time of readmission, not the policy that applied under their original enrolment. This also applies to students whose enrolment is terminated for unpaid fees or other outstanding debt and who are ineligible for reinstatement.
Tuition fees for students who commenced their course in 2004 or earlier
International fee students who commenced their course in 2004 or earlier are able to complete their study under the fee policy that applied at the time they commenced their course (known as ‘grandfathering’). However, in a small number of cases this may be less advantageous for students than the policy that was introduced in 2005.
In light of this, existing international students will be charged the lesser of the fees associated with the 2005 fee policy and the fees calculated in accordance with the policy that was in place at the time of their commencement.
Each semester the fee that would have been charged under the policy in place when they first enrolled and the fee that the student would be charged if they had enrolled after the introduction of the new policy (1 January 2005) will be calculated. The student will be charged the lesser of the two amounts.
If a student commenced their course prior to 2004 and remains on the grandfathered (original) fee policy this policy will apply only for:
- undergraduate courses: the standard duration of the course as defined when the student commenced the course plus a further year; or
- graduate courses: twice the normal full-time duration of the course as defined when the student commenced the course.
Any periods of leave of absence or part time enrolment do not extend the above time frames.
If the student takes longer than the above time frames to complete the course they will be required to move to the current fee policy and must pay the fees applicable at that time.
If the student transfers to another course they are subject to the current fee policy and must pay the fees applicable at the time of transfer.
Students whose enrolment is terminated either for poor academic performance, disciplinary grounds or for failure to re-enrol in a
timely fashion, if readmitted at any future time, will be required to pay fees according to the fee policy applicable at the time of readmission, not the policy that applied under their originalenrolment. This also applies to students whose enrolment is terminated for unpaid fees or other outstanding debt and who are ineligible for reinstatement.
