4.5 Payment of HECS by an institution on behalf of a student 4.6 Currency of option 4.7 Change of course 4.8 Enrolment in more than one course 4.9 Enrolment in more than one institution 4.10 Non-exempt students in relation to industry work experience units 4.1 Options Students, who are required to make a contribution under HECS, excluding excepted students, have three payment options.
Students deferring all or part of their contribution make repayments through the tax system.
If students do not complete Part C, the form will still be legally valid. Therefore, each university may determine if they require students to complete this part of the form and how they will enforce this requirement. Students who intend to pay up front in full may provide a TFN on their Payment Options Declaration form which will authorise the institution to defer all or part of their HECS contribution if, for some reason, they cannot make the full up front payment by the due date. It is in the students' interests to provide their TFN if they are not certain they will be able to make a full up front payment at any time during their course. Students who wish to make a full up front payment must pay the institution at least 75 per cent of the amount the institution has estimated will be the student's HECS contribution for the semester by the census date for that semester or the date set by the institution, which ever is the earlier.
