54  Amounts of VET FEE‑HELP assistance and FEE‑HELP assistance must not exceed the FEE‑HELP balance

Amount of VET FEE‑HELP assistance for one unit

 (1) The amount of *VET FEE‑HELP assistance to which a student is entitled for a *VET unit of study is an amount equal to the student's *FEE‑HELP balance on the *census date for the unit if:
 (a) there is no other:
 (i) VET unit of study, with the same census date, for which the student is entitled to VET FEE‑HELP assistance; or
 (ii) unit of study, with the same census date, for which the student is entitled to *FEE‑HELP assistance; and
 (b) the amount of VET FEE‑HELP assistance to which the student would be entitled under clause 52 for the unit would exceed that FEE‑HELP balance.

Amount of VET FEE‑HELP assistance for more than one unit

 (2) If the sum of:
 (a) the amount of *VET FEE‑HELP assistance to which a student would be entitled under clause 52 for a *VET unit of study; and
 (b) any other amounts of:
 (i) VET FEE‑HELP assistance to which the student would be entitled under that clause for other units that have the same *census date as that unit; and
 (ii) *FEE‑HELP assistance to which the student would be entitled under clause 52 for other units that have the same census date as that unit;
would exceed the student's *FEE‑HELP balance on the census date for the unit, then, despite subclause (1) of this clause, the total amount of VET FEE‑HELP assistance and FEE‑HELP assistance to which the student is entitled for all of those units is an amount equal to that FEE‑HELP balance.

Example: Kath has a FEE‑HELP balance of $2,000, and is enrolled in 4 units with the same census date. Kath's VET tuition fee for each unit is $600. The total amount of VET FEE‑HELP assistance to which Kath is entitled for the units is $2,000, even though the total amount of her VET tuition fees for the units is $2,400.

 (3) If the student has enrolled in the units with more than one *VET provider or higher education provider, the student must notify each provider of the proportion of the total amount of *VET FEE‑HELP assistance or *FEE‑HELP assistance that is to be payable in relation to the units in which the student has enrolled with that provider.
