This fee is intended to provide you with enhanced student services related to: health and welfare, orientation and support, student development and enrichment and student assistance programs.
The charging will be based on your individual study load and for 2013 will be charged @ $34 per unit point value, not to exceed the annual $273 cap. If you are an Australian citizen or Permanent Humanitarian Visa holder and eligible to access a HELP loan, you may be eligible to defer payment through the SA-HELP scheme, similar to the HECS-HELP. Please note that cross-institutional students who study courses at USQ are not eligible to defer their USQ SA Fee.
