Commonwealth Supported Places Student
Contribution Amounts
Students who are enrolled in a Commonwealth supported place (formerly known as a HECS place) pay a student contribution amount to Swinburne. A student enrols in a course of study (eg. Bachelor of Arts) and enrolment within that course is in a series of units of study
for each semester or term. The Government
has determined, for Commonwealth supported students, the broad
bands in which units are grouped. The band in which the unit
is grouped determines the student contribution amount
for that unit.
The
following table outlines the annual student contribution
amount for a full time student who is enrolled in a standard
full-time course (full-time EFTSL = 1.0) where all units
are within the same band. Undergraduate students typically
undertake 8 units per year, each having an EFTSL value
of 0.125. For example if a unit has an EFTSL of 0.125,
then the fee charged is 0.125 multiplied by the Student
Contribution Amount. Click
Here for details of student contribution amounts for each
unit of study offered in 2007 and 2008.
Students
who were undertaking study prior to 2005 under the HECS arrangements
will be able continue study under those HECS student contribution
regimes until the end of 2008, unless they discontinue their
enrolment without formal leave of absence or complete their
course of study.
There
are a range of payment options available, including discounts
for up-front payment and deferred payment plans. For full
details see Paying your Fees.
