Invoice due dates
Your invoice lists your tuition fees, any additional charges and the invoice due date. It is important you meet your financial obligations.
The invoice due date and the census date may not be the same. The University sets the invoice due date for administrative purposes. The census date is the date when all your enrolment arrangements for a study period must be finalised. It's important to know and understand the census date if you're have a HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP or SA-HELP loan.

Commonwealth supported students (CSP)
If you are enrolled as a Commonwealth supported student your fees must be paid in full by the invoice due date or, if eligible, you must complete a HECS-HELP form to defer your fees to the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP).
We are not able to offer due date extensions or payment plans to Commonwealth supported students. If your fees are not paid in full, your enrolment will be at risk.
You can find out the amount of fees you owe or have deferred to HELP (if eligible) for your current study period by generating an invoice through StudentConnect.
There may be other fees or charges which you'll need to pay, which are not covered by HELP. You should check your invoice on StudentConnect to see if you have any outstanding amounts.
FEE-HELP invoices
When you view your invoice you will see the student status 230 beside each unit. This means you have FEE-HELP.
If you have requested FEE-HELP to defer your tuition fees, this fee will shows as Student amount owing on your invoice until shortly after the census date. Any outstanding amount at the census date will be deferred to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a FEE-HELP debt.
You can find out the amount of fees you owe or have deferred to HELP (if eligible) for your current study period by generating an invoice through StudentConnect.
Late payment of fees
If you have not paid your fees in full by the invoice due date will receive a warning via your Deakin email. You should read and action the email immediately.
If you are enrolled as a Commonwealth supported student and your fees are not paid (or if eligible, deferred via HELP) by the invoice due date your enrolment will be at risk. If your tuition fees (student contribution) remain outstanding at the applicable census date your enrolment will be terminated and you will lose your place at the University.
