Calculating & paying fees

Calculating your fees

Calculating your own fees, in addition to receiving a Student Fees Account, will allow you to pay your fees in advance of the due date and enable you to avoid having an encumbrance placed on your enrolment for non-payment of fees.

Please note that once your enrolment is complete you can access your electronic Statement of Account (eSOA) through MySR from the start of your teaching session until the census date of that session. The eSOA is an official record of your fees and should be referred to in preference to your fee calcuations from this page.

To help you work out your fees for the teaching session, print out this page, and write out the details as indicated from Step 2 below. By selecting a link at Step 2 for the type of fee category, you can find out more about the type of fees and how to calculate them. After you have worked out what you need to pay, return to this page for Step 3.

Step 1: Check your current enrolment details. You can do this online through MySR.

Step 2: Work out your student fees by selecting the fee category that you belong to and follow the steps provided:

» Student Contribution amounts (for those eligible for HECS-HELP)
» Tuition Fees including UniTrack/Non Award units and Higher Degree Research
» International students

Step 3: Identify the due date for payment of your fees. This is usually the census date for the teaching session.

Step 4: Make your payment using any of the options shown below.

Please note that if you vary your program, i.e. add or drop units after you have made your payment, but before the census date for the teaching session in which you are enrolled, you may be liable for additional fees.

Allocation of payments

If you have an outstanding debt any payment made will be allocated to these outstanding amounts first.

If the payment you have made is greater than your outstanding debt, then the remaining amount will be paid against your other liabilities such as student contribution amounts or tuition fees.
