Student Services Fee (SSF)
All students are levied for provision of support services and amenities. The University charges Student Services Fees on a per unit basis and the fees for 2006, inclusive of GST, are listed below:

Fee paying students: The SSF is incorporated in the tuition fee.

Commonwealth-supported students other than those studying by distance mode:
SSF is levied at $50 per unit. If the student pays by the due date they will receive a $10 discount per unit. Therefore a student who is enrolled in four units and who pays by the due date, will be charged $160. If the student does not pay by the due date they will be charged at $50 per unit (eg. a student who is enrolled in four units and who pays after the due date will pay $200). Note: FEE-HELP assistance is not available to meet the cost of SSF.

Commonwealth-supported students undertaking their studies by distance mode:
SSF is levied at $55 per study period. If the student pays by the due date they will receive a $10 discount. Therefore a student who pays by the due date will be charged $45.00 for the study period. If the student does not pay by the due date they will be charged $55.00 for the study period.
