During each teaching period, you’ll pay for the courses (subjects) you are enrolled in. The approximate annual costs for your degree can be found detailed on your chosen degree, or you can calculate how much you will pay per unit based on the fee schedule.

Degree fees fall into two categories: Commonwealth-supported places (CSP) and full-fee tuition places.

A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is a place at an Australian university or approved higher education provider where the Australian Government pays part of your fees.

This is a subsidy to reduce the cost of your course. It means that you do not pay the full course fees. It is not a loan, and you don't have to pay it back.

However, this subsidy does not cover the entire cost of your course.

The remaining cost is called the student contribution amount. You are responsible for paying the student contribution amount either upfront to your provider by the census date, or by applying for a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) loan by the census date.
