28 MONEY MATTERS 52 Being aware of the financial aspects of university will help you be better prepared for your new life. * STUDENT CONTRUTION BANDS AND AMOUNTS BAND AREA OF STUDY Fees and costs Course fees and student contributions When you study at University, at the start of each semester or teaching period (study period) you are charged a fee for each course in which you enrol. Most undergraduate places at UQ are Commonwealth supported, i.e. funded partly by the Australian Government (Commonwealth support) and partly by you (student contribution). You qualify for Commonwealth support if you are an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent resident and have a Commonwealth supported place (CSP). ( pay full tuition fees.) If you have a CSP, the amount you pay for a course (your student contribution amount) depends on the fee band level of the course (see table below). As fees are charged according to the courses you undertake, not the program in which you are enrolled, it is not possible to publish a fixed fee for a program. Indicative annual fees (based on average first-year enrolment patterns) are listed on our Courses and Programs website to help you plan your budget. Courses and Programs Law, accounting, administration, economics, commerce, dentistry, medicine, veterinary science Mathematics, statistics, computing, built environment, other health, allied health, science, engineering, surveying, agriculture Humanities, behavioural science, social studies, education, clinical psychology, foreign languages, visual and performing arts, nursing ANNUAL* STUDENT CONTRUTION $10,266 $8768 $6152 * figures only, based on full-time (16-unit) workload: figures indexed annually Fees calculator To help you estimate your course fees for a study period, UQ has an online Fees Calculator. If you add the study period totals together you can then estimate your total enrolment costs. Before you enrol, faculty Academic Advisors can help you develop a study plan. Fees calculator (under What It Costs/ UQ Toolkit) Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) In 2011 the Australian Parliament passed legislation allowing universities to charge a fee for non-academic services such as sporting and recreation activities, employment and career advice, child care, financial advice, and food services. UQ levies the SSAF which is capped at a maximum of $286 for according to whether you are an internal or external student, full-time or part-time. The fee is indexed annually. SSAF Proposed higher education reforms In the May 2014 Budget, the Australian Government proposed changes to funding for higher education. At the time of printing, the proposals have not been passed by the Senate, and UQ like all Australian universities does not know the impact of the proposed reforms. Further information, including a number of frequently asked questions about student enrolment scenarios, is available on the Department of Education website. Department of Education StudyAssist T TIP Living costs Going to university can mean more costs, like accommodation, books and study materials, transport and parking; however: Australian Government provides financial support and fee repayment options UQU runs a secondhand bookshop and low-cost entertainment activities UQ s Student Services can help with finding accommodation. Centrelink Student Services The Australian Government provides three income-support payments for Australian tertiary students: Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY. You can apply for these payments at any Centrelink Customer Service Centre. Other schemes include: Student Start-up loan Relocation scholarship interest-free advance loan where part of allowance is paid as lump-sum advance Pensioner Education Supplement (PES) Low Income Health Care Card Fares Allowance Child Care Benefit (CCB) or Rebate, or JET Child Care Fee Assistance (if you have children in your care). Centrelink Phone ( for ABSTUDY only) Other government assistance HECS-HELP If you are a domestic student (see page 46) in a Commonwealth supported place, you may be eligible to receive HECS- HELP. HECS-HELP is an Australian Government loan scheme that allows you to defer repayment of all or part of the student contribution amount until your income meets a specific threshold. This means you do not have to start repaying your HECS-HELP debt until you earn above a certain income level ($53,345 for the income year). Loan repayments are then taken out of your pay as additional tax. You need to supply your tax file number to apply. SA-HELP SA-HELP is a loan scheme that helps you pay for all or part of the SSAF. If you use SA-HELP, the amount will be added to your accumulated HELP debt. You can take out a SA-HELP loan even if you do not wish to take out any other HELP loan. You require a tax file number to obtain SA-HELP. HECS-HELP and SA-HELP information 53

Entry scores Entry scores include Overall Positions () and entry ranks. Eligible applicants are selected for admission to a program in order of merit: those with the highest entry score are selected first, and so on until the program quota is filled. The minimum or rank required for entry varies from year to year and is determined once applications have been processed and places allocated. While it is difficult to predict exactly what or rank will be needed for entry to a program, you can use the previous year s cut-offs as a guide. s Current Queensland Year 12 students receive an on the basis of their overall achievement at school in comparison with other students. s are determined by the Queensland Studies Authority and range from 1 to 25, with 1 being the highest. Ranks All other applicants are allocated a rank on a scale of 1-99, with 99 being the highest.

Improving an entry score (upgrading) If you are not offered a place in your preferred program and want to improve your entry score or meet subject prerequisites, you can accept an offer in a less competitive program with fewer prerequisites and try to improve your entry score. This is called upgrading. We recommend that you complete one full year of bachelor degree study to upgrade to higher demand programs (such as dentistry or veterinary science) because the entry ranks allocated to attempts totalling less than one full-time year are capped.
