The fees charged by universities. Exactly how much of that the student pays will be dependent on their financial assessment. Private institutions may charge more.
Students entering university and following a course of full time study will be required to make a means tested contribution to their tuition fees. For 2002/2003 the maximum fee has been set at ï¿1/2ï¿1/21,100. Up to 50% of students will not have to pay anything towards their tuition, while others may pay only a proportion of the fee. Further information and advice can be found at the Student Finance Centre ( www.port.ac.uk/studentfinance/).
Fees that are directly related to teaching and academic resources that a student uses are tuition fees.
Course fees paid by full fee paying students for each unit in which they are enrolled. Full tuition fee paying students do not receive an Australian government contribution towards their course costs as do students paying a student contribution. The Australian government sets a minimum limit on tuition fees. Tuition fees will not be less than the student contributions paid by Commonwealth supported students in the same course. Fees are charged according to the UWS approved fees schedule, and vary across awards and units. The fee schedule is revised each calendar year, and therefore fees may increase annually.
