FEES, FEE-HELP AND AUSTUDY
Tuition Fees
Tuition fees for University of Divinity courses are set annually by the University of Divinity Council.
​
The table of 2023 fees can be accessed here.
​
The student tuition fee for a unit must be paid in full prior to the commencement of a unit. Fees are paid directly to the University of Divinity at the time of admission or re-enrolment.
FEE-HELP AND AUSTUDY
Australian citizens and holders of a permanent humanitarian visa may defer the payment of fees through the FEE-HELP loan scheme. Tuition fees are paid by the Australian Government and debited to a loan account. Students are not required to begin repaying the accumulated loan debt until their taxable income rises above the compulsory repayment threshold.
​
Note that University of Divinity students receiving FEE-HELP are not required to pay the 20% loan fee.
​
For details regarding eligibility and regulations see FEE-HELP at the Australian Government Study Assist site.
​
New or existing SCMOI students in a University of Divinity course who wish to secure FEE-HELP funding, should first contact student admissions at Uniting College.
​
For more on the FEE-HELP application process see here.
​
Austudy (for those over 25 years of age) or Youth Allowance (16-24 years, means tested) may be available. For a summary of these and other forms of student assistance see here. See also the Services Australia Payment and Services Finder.​
​
Students normally are required to enrol in at least 75% of the normal full-time work load to be eligible for Austudy and Youth Allowance.
​
For further information on Austudy and Youth Allowance contact Centrelink (Services Australia).
​
Students receiving Austudy or Youth Allowance should notify Centrelink if their enrolment falls below a full-time load in any semester.
