The fee is dependent on the number of units in which you are enrolled. Each unit study has a credit point allocation. Most students study for two terms per year. HECS requires students to contribute towards the cost of their higher education. Under HECS an annual contribution charge will apply for each year of equivalent full-time study.
HECS payment is calculated on the student s study load.
If you undertake more or less than a full time study load you will be charged the proportionate HECS contribution. If you are not an Australian Citizen these options may not apply. Typically the main forms of accommodation includes staying on campus, sharing the rent of a flat or house or boarding with a family. Remember there may be some hidden costs when renting for the first time. For example buying linen, crockery and electrical goods, and maybe furniture.
