How to pay
There are a few ways to pay student fees and charges, but our preferred payment methods are Flywire for international payments, or BPAY, Visa or Mastercard for Australian payments.
Pay all fees by the due dates displayed in the 'Financials' section of mySI-net. If you change your enrolment after the due date, mySI-net will recalculate your fees overnight. Any additional fees must be paid within 2 days of the change.
UQ-Ochsner students: follow the instructions on How to Pay – UQ-Ochsner students. Please ignore the instructions on this page.

International payments
Flywire
Flywire is a safe way to make international payments. Depending on your location, payment options can include:
- local bank (telegraphic) transfer
- credit card
- e-payments
- e-wallets.
Flywire will send you text and email updates each step of the way. It will send a confirmation once your payment has been delivered to UQ.
To make a payment using Flywire, first log in to mySI-net, then:
- Click the 'Financials' tile
- Click 'Pay my fees now' in the left-hand side menu
- Select Flywire as your payment method. You will be redirected to the Flywire website
- On the Flywire website, enter the payment amount, your country of origin and other basic information

For debit or credit card payments, enter your card details to pay in your home currency. There may be additional payment options available depending on the country you are paying from.
For local bank (telegraphic) transfer, it can take several days for banks to process telegraphic transfers. Make sure you allow enough time for your payment to be delivered to UQ by the due date, otherwise you may need to pay a late fee.

Your enrolment at the University is provisional until you have paid all fees and charges.

If your fees are still unpaid by Census date, your enrolment may be cancelled.
Scam warning
To protect yourself from fraud and scams, never pay through a third party, even if discounts are offered.
Scammers may contact you on social media, or be recommended by a friend and offer a deal where you pay them a "discounted" amount and they will then pay the full amount to the University on your behalf.
Scammers make payments to the University using stolen credit cards and these payments are eventually declined.
Victims lose the money they paid to the scammer and several weeks into semester students find out their fees are still outstanding.
To ensure you're protected from scams, stay up to date with the latest warnings on Scamwatch.

If you have any questions about fees or payments, contact a Student Centre or submit a question to UQ Answers.
