7          Domestic students: fees for award programs

(1)    This section applies to a domestic student if the student is enrolled in a program for an award for any semester, session or trimester.

(2)    The student must pay the University the tuition fees payable, under the contribution amounts and fees schedule, for the courses to be undertaken in the program for the semester, session or trimester.

(3)    However, the student is not required to pay tuition fees if:

(a)    the student:

(i)    is eligible for FEE-HELP or HECS-HELP assistance from the Commonwealth and has taken out a FEE-HELP or HECS-HELP loan before the relevant census date; or

(ii)    holds an Australian Government Research Training Program Domestic Fee Offset Scholarship; or

(iii)    holds a full tuition fee scholarship funded by the University; or

(iv)    holds a place fully funded by an employer; and

(b)    the student's obligation to pay the fees is met under the arrangement or scholarship mentioned in paragraph (a).

(4)    To remove any doubt, a student mentioned in subsection (3)(a) remains personally liable to pay tuition fees if the student's obligation to pay the fees is not met under the arrangement or scholarship.

(5)    Also, if the Vice-Chancellor, Deputy Vice-Chancellor or relevant Associate Dean sponsors all or part of the student's tuition fees in accordance with the HES Act, the student is not required to pay the sponsored fees.
