Undergraduate Programs

Fee-paying places for commencing domestic students in undergraduate programs are not offered from 1 January 2009.

However fee paying places are still valid for:

• students who advise they do not want a Commonwealth supported place
• international students who gain permanent residency (but not for all programs)
• students in Employer-reserved places
• students who are studying as Bridging for Overseas Trained Professionals.

The University also sets fees for undergraduate courses:

• offered in Summer and Winter School
• undertaken by cross-institutional students who are not Commonwealth supported  (i.e. those enrolled in an award program in one institution but studying a course(s) in another institution that will count towards that award)
• undertaken on a non-award basis, i.e. without leading to any university award.
