PAYMENT OPTIONS

TUITION FEES

Tuition fees are levied by Griffith College to cover the costs of delivering a course or program. Program tuition fees will vary each year. The total trimester tuition fees that a student will be liable for may vary depending on the number of courses in which they enrol.

Students must pay the tuition fee applicable to a course in the trimester they are enrolled. Fees on all offerings are subject to change, though Griffith College makes every effort to ensure that they are correct at the time of enrolment. When fees are increased, all Griffith College agents and representatives are notified.

Tuition fees vary depending on whether the student is local or international. For the purposes of calculating fees payable, an international student is defined as one who is not an Australian or New Zealand citizen or the holder of a permanent residency visa. Tuition fees are levied based on the courses a student is enrolled in on the census date. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that tuition fees are paid before enrolment at the commencement of each trimester.

REFUND POLICY

UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER

A Unique Student Identifier or USI is your individual education number required for all nationally recognised study, including university. It provides an online record of your training undertaken in Australia.

WHY DO I NEED A USI?

International and domestic students studying in Australia with an Australian education or training provider must have a USI to receive their award. Without a USI, you can’t get your qualification or statement of attainment (this excludes MQP students and Foundation to Bachelor students).

International Students must land in Australia and go through customs before you can create a USI using your non-Australian passport and visa as a form of ID.

APPLY FOR OR RETRIEVE YOUR USI

You can apply for your USI here, or find your existing USI here.
