2016 Tuition Fee Schedule – Domestic students
This 2016 Tuition Fee Schedule is effective from 1 January 2016 and replaces all Schedules previously issued. Tuition Fees are reviewed annually and whenever possible published on 1 October each year for the following year.
Tuition Fees for each course of enrolment are calculated per unit of credit. Except where otherwise indicated, examples of “Fee per Course” in the Schedule assume a standard course of 6 units of credit. Courses may, however, have a unit of credit value different to the standard value – please check the Student Handbook (http://handbook.cqu.edu.au/) for information on units of credit per course.
Fees for each course offered by CQUniversity to domestic students are also published in the Cost per Course table at https://www.cqu.edu.au/student-life/student-finances/fees-and-charges/degree-level-students.
Students are advised to check the Calendar of Principal Dates in the Student Handbook (http://handbook.cqu.edu.au/) each term for information about the last date to withdraw without financial penalty. NOTE: These dates apply to ALL STUDENTS (full fee paying students, international students, domestic students, those approved for FEE-HELP assistance, and Commonwealth supported students).
CQUniversity policies relevant to the payment of fees include the Collections Policy Procedure, and the Refund and Excess Payments (Credit Balances) Policy and Procedure. All University policies can be accessed at http://policy.cqu.edu.au/Policy/.
