*Payment dates
As a general rule, tuition fees and Student Services and Amenities fees are due 14 days prior to the census date for the study period. Refer to your invoice for details.
†What is a census date?
Census dates mark the point in a study period at which you become financially liable (responsible for the fees) for a unit. If you are eligible and have elected to defer fees to a HELP loan, it is also the date after which this debt is transferred to the ATO.
See 'What is a census date?' (AskUs) for more information.
