Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017
For those of you haven't read your emails:
"I am writing to advise of a change in UNSW charging policy for Summer Term 2017/8.
Current policy
In recent years UNSW Business School has elected to charge Commonwealth supported students enrolled in Business courses during Summer Term, the Domestic Fee paying tuition rate, in line with the Higher Education Support Act (HESA).
This meant that Commonwealth Supported students undertaking a course within the UNSW Business School in Summer Term were not eligible for the subsidised Commonwealth Supported contribution rates during Summer Term, but instead were charged the full Domestic Fee paying tuition rate.
What has changed?
UNSW Business School have advised that they no longer wish to charge the Domestic Fee paying tuition rate to all students in Summer Term. This change will apply from Summer Term 2017/8 onwards and will not be retrospectively applied to previous years.
What does this mean?
This means that any Commonwealth supported student enrolling in any course at UNSW in Summer 2017/8 will retain their Commonwealth supported status and be charged the subsidised student contribution amounts and, if eligible, be able to defer their tuition under HECS-HELP.
What do you need to do now?
Nothing. If you are enrolled in Summer Term and are eligible, you will automatically be charged the subsidised student contribution amount and if you are eligible, you will be able to defer payment of your tuition fees under HECS-HELP."
