Student Services and Amenities Fee
2. How much do I have to pay?
2025 SSAF amounts
A SSAF of $30 per enrolled unit will be charged, with an annual limit of $365. This fee applies to all undergraduate, postgraduate, and HDR students, regardless of their study mode.
SSAF may be charged during any study period, including:
- Semesters (1, 2, and Summer)
- Teaching Periods (2-8)
- Research Quarters (1-4).
Once the SSAF limit of $365 for 2025 is reached, no further charges will be applied until the following year, meaning the total SSAF paid will depend on your study load. This includes students who are enrolled in multiple programs, such as undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
Examples of how SSAF is calculated

- Course 1 (2 units) = $60

- Course 4 (2 units) = $60
Semester 2, 2025: Enrolled in 4 courses (8 units), total SSAF is $125, annual limit is reached.
- Course 1 (2 units) = $60

- Course 4 (2 units) = $0
Part-time students with an enrolment of less than 75% of the standard full-time study load (generally 3 courses per semester)
Semester 1, 2025: Enrolled in 3 courses (6 units), SSAF total is $180, annual limit remaining is $185.
