Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 14.27 Exemptions 14.28 Fees 14.28.1 When do I have to pay? 14.28.2 What is the cost of postgraduate courses (subjects)? 14.28.3 Can I claim the fees as a deduction against my tax? 14.28.4 My fees are wrong! What do I do? 84 See “Articulation, Exemptions and Advanced Standing” on page 72. Fees are payable “upfront” on a semester basis for courses that you are enrolled in. The deadline for fee payment for local students is the 31st of March for the February semester and the 31st of August for the July semester. These are known as the HECS Census deadlines. If fees have not been paid for a given semester, your results will not be released and you will not be entitled to re-enrol until the matter is resolved. Withdrawal from the program or from courses before a HECS Census deadline may attract only a 50% refund of fees. No refunds will be made for withdrawals after a HECS Census deadline. International students have different fee arrangements. In general, you must pay each semester upfront before your enrolment will be processed. Note: Fees quoted are exclusive of the CNAF (Compulsory Non-Acdemic Fee), an amount levied by the RMIT Union and Student Union, and are based upon standard load and normal progression, with pro-rata fees applying to non-standard load undertaken. For local students: The cost for commencing students is listed at http://www.rmit.edu.au/domesticfees. Programs and course-fees for a particular year are held constant only for that year. RMIT may increase fees by an amount that will not exceed 7.5% each year. Students who commenced their program during or prior to July semester, 2003 will retain the same cost per course that they commenced with for the duration of their program. If a student extends their program to over twice the standard timeframe for completion, they may be subject to an increase in fees, which may be equivalent to the fees for newly commencing students for that year. For international students: Refer to http://www.international.rmit.edu.au/info/programfees.asp for up-to-date fee information. For an idea of living expenses, medical insurance, etc., refer to http://www.rmit.edu.au/international/livingcosts. Students who are enrolled in the program because it benefits their employment or employment prospects may be eligible to apply for tax deductions. For further information and advice, contact your taxation accountant. Australian students who wish to use the FEE-HELP system should check this website for further information: http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/ If you have any queries regarding your invoice or believe you have been incorrectly invoiced, you should in the first instance call the 1800-number listed on your invoice i.e. 1800 155 945. Alternatively, you can email fquery@rmit.edu.au. Local students If the staff at the 1800-number are still unable to help you, you should then contact the School Office at Building 10, Level 10. Contact Ms. Kristy Capper: Email: kristy@cs.rmit.edu.au Tel.: 9925 2699 International students If the staff at the 1800-number are still unable to help you, you should contact Mrs Juliet D’Souza at the International Office at Building 112, Level 6. Her contact details are: Email: juliet.dsouza@rmit.edu.au Tel.: 9925 2726
14.28.5 What other costs can I expect to pay? 14.28.6 International Students Summer School Fees 14.28.7 Where can I get more detailed information regarding fees and charges? 14.28.8 Are there any student loans available? 14.29 Finding My Way 14.29.1 How do I find a particular building? 14.29.2 How are rooms and lecture theatres identified? The fees you pay are for tuition. Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions Textbooks and School course-based notes will need to be purchased from the RMIT bookshop at 17-25 Little LaTrobe Street. The cost of notes will be on a non-profit, cost recovery basis. Students will have to show their student card, or proof of enrolment at the RMIT bookshop in order obtain a notes discount. Any student who will complete their degree when they do summer school courses, will be sent an account for their summer school courses and they will have to pay for these by December (that is before summer school starts). If this is a problem for international students then please contact one of our Teaching and Learning (T&L) advisors (see section 14.33.1 on page 87). Other students (that is non-graduating students) will receive a fee statement for the next year and summer school. Those students will have until the last week of February to pay these fees. Please note that the deadline for withdrawing from a summer course is very short (usually within a few days of course commencement). Please refer to information provided at enrolment on summer deadlines. You cannot withdraw from a summer course after the given date, and will not be eligible for a refund! Students who will be paying for their fees from their home country are advised to send a bank draft made out to RMIT International. You must include your name and student number (See http://www.rmit.edu.au/international/payment for details). Summer courses generally commence on the first business day after 1st January and run for about four-five weeks, after which will be the summer examination period. International students who wish to commence in summer should aim to arrive in Australia no later than the end of the second week of December. This will allow adequate time to find accommodation and settle in before the holiday period commences. The University is closed from 24th December and re-opens on the first business day after 1st January. The RMIT Schedule of Fees and Charges can be found at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/academic-policy FEE-HELP is an interest-free loans facility for fee-paying local postgraduate students undertaking non-research programs. This is similar to the deferred payment arrangements available under HECS. To be considered for these loans a student must be an Australian citizen. For more information see http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/ or phone 1800 020 108. There should be a map in your student diary. The map is also available at: http://www.rmit.edu.au/about/maps/city Only the City Campus is relevant to this program. If a room is described as 10.11.12, for example, this translates to Building 10, Level 11, Room 12. For more information on lecture theatres please see: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/timetables and click on Lecture venues. Please note that some lecture venues are located off campus. 85
