Other fees and expenses
During your studies, you may be required to purchase textbooks and other items required to study. Textbooks can vary from $200 – $500 depending on the course you are enrolled in. Other expenses might include: stationary, printing, purchasing a laptop or computer, protective clothing, work materials, travel and accommodation for placement, working with children clearances and computing programs. These will depend on your course.
Tuition Fees:
The fees for your program are outlined in the letter of offer and Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) provided to you. It is mandatory to pay the fees in full by the first day of classes for each semester. If, for any reason, you are unable to make the payment by the specified date, you must arrange to enter into an agreed Installment Agreement Plan to pay the fees over a period of time. If you have any questions regarding the payment of your fees, please feel free to contact our Operations Manager via email.
As a student visa holder, it is essential to maintain financial capability to meet your fees. Any financial struggles cannot be considered when evaluating applications for CoE extensions or reduced study loads.
