Examples of Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) charges

The Student Service and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is calculated and charged based on your enrolment (study load and mode).

See Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) for more information about the charges, payment dates and payment options. We have provided some examples to help you understand how the SSAF is calculated.

Examples on this page:

• on-campus
• intensive study
• multi-modal
• off-campus
• change of enrolment.

On-campus

Adam is enrolled on-campus in the Bachelor of Arts, taking:

• four units in semester one
• three units in semester two
• one unit in semester summer A
  - all units are 6 credit points (0.125 Equivalent Full-Time Study Load - EFTSL each).

Semester one: Adam is invoiced $273 for the SSAF. He is charged at the full-time, on-campus rate because 8 units x 0.125 = 1.0 EFTSL for the calendar year.

Intensive study

Sally is enrolled on-campus in the Master of Business (Science and Technology) in the intensive mode where she takes:

• five units in semester one
  - three units at 6 credit points (0.125 EFTSL each)
  - two units at 12 credit points (0.250 EFTSL each)
• five units in semester two
  - five units at 6 credit points (0.125 EFTSL each).

Semester one: Sally is invoiced $273 for the SSAF. She is charged at the full-time on-campus (maximum) rate.

Multi-modal

Anna is enrolled in multi-modal, on-campus mode in the Bachelor of Journalism. She takes:

• two on-campus units and two off-campus units in semester one
• no other enrolment for the remainder of the year
  - all units are 6 credit points (0.125 EFTSL each).

Semester one: Anna is invoiced $204 for the SSAF. She is charged at the part-time on-campus rate because 4 units x 0.125 = 0.50 EFTSL.

Off-campus

George is enrolled off-campus in the Bachelor of Nursing, taking:

• two units in semester one
• two units in semester two
  - all units are 6 credit points (0.125 EFTSL each).

Semester one: George will be invoiced $98 for the SSAF. He is charged at the off-campus rate because all his units are enrolled in off-campus mode.

Change of enrolment

Nick is enrolled off-campus in the Master of Education, taking:

• one unit in semester one
  - at 12 credit points (0.250 EFTSL).

Semester one: He is invoiced $98 for the SSAF, at the off-campus rate.
Nick then decides to change his semester two enrolment to on-campus mode, taking:

• one unit in semester two
  - at 12 credit points (0.250 EFTSL).

Semester two: Nick is invoiced $106 for the SSAF. This is the difference of the on-campus rate for total EFTSL between 0.250 to less than 0.750 of $204 and the off-campus rate of $98, which he has already paid.
