if a unit is failed, how does this effect the hecs help debt for a local student? can it just be repeated and the cost added on to the debt . Would the government stop covering for you?

If you repeat the subject then the cost will be added to the current cost so long as you've got SLE remaining.

The government doesn't care what subjects you do, as far as it's concerned you have a certain SLE, it'll keep paying so long as you're an undergraduate student and have SLE remaining.

In other words, you'll be fine should you fail. It's pre-empting it a bit, isn't it? Marks won't be released for a while yet, won't they?

Provide you do a CSP course then any units you repeat will just be added onto your debt (until you run out of HECS that is).

What's the maximum $
If you're FEE then the limit is $50, 000 for a deferred government loan however as far as I know HECS does not suffer the same dollar limit. Rather it is restricted to 7 years full time study (in UNSW terms that'd be 330 something cp) but it can be extended if you recieve honours. If there is a limit to the HECS loan, then I presume it would be $50, 000 also.

You can access HECS-HELP money as long as you have a SLE left to cover the subject.

If a normal full time load per year is forty-eight credit points (24cp a semester) then there's 336 credit points in a normal SLE.
