Payments

Invoices

Early in each semester you will be provided with an online invoice through Access Adelaide with details of your Student Contribution. Your invoice can be viewed, printed or saved as a Portable Document File (PDF). An email message to your University of Adelaide student email account advises you when an invoice is available.

To view your invoice online, log in to Access Adelaide, then select:

1. My Finances
2. My Invoice.

Students are not sent a hardcopy of their invoice unless there are exceptional circumstances. There are computing suites on campus that can be used if you do not have a computer at home.
If you make an enrolment change after the invoice is produced, a new up-to-date invoice will be issued, though the date for payment stays the same.

Your invoice includes:

• your personal details, including name, address, program/s in which you are enrolled, student number and Tax File Number (TFN)
• the fees and charges for the current invoice period or, if you are receiving a second invoice for that period, the new items not previously included. These fees and charges are based on your enrolment at the time the invoice was produced
• the total amount due for the invoice period
• a summary of your account, including an Opening Balance (the state of your account before this invoice was produced) and a Total Payable (including this invoice and any previous amounts outstanding)
• the due date by which payment must be made
• a tear-off section that you can use to make payment.

Check the details on your invoice carefully. If you have difficulty with Access Adelaide or have any concerns about your invoice, contact the Student Centre on 8303 5208, 1800 061 459 (country and interstate callers), or email.

Printing and internet charges do not appear on your invoice; they are managed separately. Refer to the Student Centre website for more information about these services.

Due Dates

Your invoice will specify a due date by which payment of your Student Contribution (SC) must be made. If you wish to make a partial payment, you must do so by the due date.

If you intend to defer payment of your SC, you don't have to pay anything by the due date. You must start paying back your HECS-HELP debt through the taxation system when your repayment income is above the minimum repayment threshold for compulsory repayment. For more information on HECS-HELP go to the Commonwealth Government’s Going to Uni website.

If you find that you have some money that you want to put towards your SC, but the census date has passed and the SC has already been deferred through HECS-HELP, you can make a voluntary repayment directly to the Australian Taxation Office. You will receive a bonus of a 10% discount if you make a payment of $500 or more to the Australian Taxation Office.

Please refer to the booklet Information for Commonwealth-supported Students, which can be downloaded from the Commonwealth Government’s Going to Uni website, or to the Australian Taxation Office website, for more information about HECS-HELP and Student Contributions.

Payment Options

For details about payment options refer to Invoice Payment Options.

Payment Priorities

Payments will be applied to courses in the order of least expensive to the most expensive. Where courses are of the same value payments will be applied in the order in which you enrolled.

If you are making a partial payment and wish to pay for a particular course you will only be able to do this at the Student Centre. You will need to advise the Student Centre which course(s) you wish to apply your payment to.

Your Account

You can check your student account online at any time through Access Adelaide. Your account has the most up-to-date information based on your current enrolment details and any recent payments. If you believe your account on Access Adelaide is incorrect, contact the Student Centre on 8303 5208, 1800 061 459 (country and interstate callers), or email.

You can also check details of your HECS-HELP liability and your Student Learning Entitlement on the Commonwealth Government’s portal myUniAssist.
