Undergraduate Guide 2021 Fremantle

Investing in your future Notre Dame is committed to making all its programs as affordable and accessible as possible, with its fee structure reflecting this goal. How fees are calculated Fees are calculated based on the discipline and study load of each course undertaken by students. For the majority of programs, courses studied do not all fall within the same discipline. For example, a student enrolled in a Bachelor of Education undertakes courses of study that are classified as ‘education’ and some that are classified as ‘humanities’. In this example, the fee for the humanities courses is calculated against the Humanities discipline, while the fee for the education courses is calculated against the Education discipline. To access individual course costs please visit the University’s website. Pre-university programs Eligible students undertaking the Tertiary Pathway Program, who are allocated a Commonwealth supported place and have lodged an eCAF form online will pay NO FEES. Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS-HELP Notre Dame offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) in selected undergraduate programs (for details, see the degree tables on pages 88-89). Australian citizens, holders of permanent humanitarian visas and eligible New Zealand citizens who are allocated a CSP are able to access HECS-HELP and defer all or part of their tuition fees through a Federal Government loan. Permanent residents of Australia and New Zealand citizens must pay their fees in full by the Course Census Date. All Indigenous students of Notre Dame are able to access Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS‑HELP for undergraduate and some postgraduate programs. Fee paying places and FEE-HELP Notre Dame offers full-fee paying places for undergraduate domestic students in a number of programs. Australian citizens, permanent humanitarian visa holders and eligible New Zealand citizens are able to access the FEE‑HELP loan scheme. This program allows eligible students to borrow all or part of their tuition fees from the Federal Government. How will I pay? The HECS-HELP loan scheme assists eligible students who have been allocated a Commonwealth Supported Place in paying their tuition fees. The FEE-HELP loan scheme assists eligible students who have been allocated a fee paying place in paying their tuition fees. Repayments in both schemes can be deferred until students are in the workforce. Students should consult studyassist.gov.au for further information and up-to-date eligibility requirements. Additional study costs The additional costs of study will vary from student to student. Additional costs include textbooks, uniforms, accommodation, public transport, photocopying, stationery and food.
