Find out about your different types of fees and how to view their due dates.
From 1 January 2023, the 10% HECS upfront payment discount is no longer available to students in a Commonwealth Supported Place, following legislative changes.
All student contribution amounts on your invoice must be paid in full to RMIT or deferred to your HECS-HELP loan (if eligible and approved).
Types of fees
All students at RMIT are charged fees that contribute to the cost of their program. The fees you’ll pay depend on your citizenship, the type of place you’ve been offered and the year you commenced your studies.
| Fee type | What the fees cover |
|---|---|
Tuition fees |
These are charged to all higher education, vocational education and preparatory students. You’ll be charged a fee to cover the cost of each course (subject) of your program. |
Material and administration fees |
These include fees and charges for activities such as field trips or materials like printing dyes or fabrics that become your property. |
| The SSAF is set by the Australian Government on an annual basis. It funds services of a non-academic nature that enhance the student experience. |

Scam alert! Tuition fee scams
Students of Australian education institutions have been targeted by scammers claiming to be ‘agents’ from the student’s university and requesting the student transfer money to cover tuition or other fees. To avoid becoming the victim of a scam, remember:
- You should only ever make payments to RMIT via the formal payment methods listed on How to pay your fees
- You can always view your up-to-date fees and due dates via Enrolment Online (see above for full details) to check the validity of any fee notice or payment request you receive
If you have any questions about fees and payments, please contact Student Connect.
