Tuition Fees

Tuition fees are levied by Griffith College to cover the costs of delivering a course or program. Program tuition fees will vary each year. The total trimester tuition fees that a student will be liable for may vary depending on the number of courses in which they enrol.

Students must pay the tuition fee applicable to a course in the trimester they are enrolled. Fees on all offerings are subject to change, though Griffith College makes every effort to ensure that they are correct at the time of enrolment. When fees are increased, all Griffith College agents and representatives are notified.

Tuition fees vary depending on whether the student is local or international. For the purposes of calculating fees payable, an international student is defined as one who is not an Australian or New Zealand citizen or the holder of a permanent residency visa. Tuition fees are levied based on the courses a student is enrolled in on the census date. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that tuition fees are paid before enrolment at the commencement of each trimester.

FEE-HELP

FEE-HELP is only available for Diploma and Associate Degree programs, for:

  • Australian citizens or
  • New Zealand Special Category Visa (NZ SCV) holder who meets the long term residency requirement or
  • Permanent Humanitarian Visa holders

FEE-HELP is the Australian Government loan scheme that will assist eligible* full fee-paying domestic (Australian) students to pay their tuition fees at an eligible Higher Education Provider. A FEE-HELP loan can cover all or part of a student’s tuition fees. There is a loan fee imposed by the Australian Government, and for more information on calculating a student loan fee please visit the Study Assist website. The portion that you elect to pay can be paid upfront using the methods outlined above or a payment plan can be entered into for this amount (refer to Payment Plan below).

Repayments can be made through the taxation system along with any other HELP loan (e.g. HECS-HELP). Compulsory repayments commence once taxable income reaches a certain threshold which can vary. Voluntary repayments can be made at any time.

*FEE-HELP loan policy requires students to maintain a minimum pass rate, relevant to the number of units they are enrolled in (not their academic pass rate), to continue using FEE-HELP for their studies.

Apply for FEE-HELP online

If you wish to apply for FEE-HELP please email admin@griffithcollege.edu.au so a FEE-HELP application can be arranged for you and emailed to you by the Australian Government.

Payment plan

Do you have a USI?

What is my USI?

A USI is your individual education number for life. It provides an online record of your training undertaken in Australia. Without a USI, you can’t get your qualification or statement of attainment (this excludes MQP students and Foundation to Bachelor students).

Why do I need a USI?

International and domestic students studying in Australia with an Australian education or training provider must have a USI to receive their award.

Students travelling to Australia to study are issued with an Australian visa. You must land in Australia and go through customs before you can create a USI using your non-Australian passport and visa as a form of ID.

You can apply for your USI here, or find your existing USI here.
