You must submit your Request for FEE-HELP assistance form to your higher education provider on or before the census date (or the earlier date set by your provider) for the first unit of study for which you wish to obtain FEE-HELP assistance.
Your higher education provider is required to set the census date for each of the units of study it offers and this date must be at least 20% of the way through the period in which the unit is undertaken and to publish the census date for all units of study. However, your provider can and may set an earlier date for the submission of the form and payment of any up-front tuition fees. You should check this with your provider. You must ensure that you meet this deadline otherwise your provider may charge you a late fee or cancel your enrolment if you do not.
If you have not submitted a completed Request for FEE-HELP assistance form on or before the census date, you will not be entitled to FEE-HELP for that unit. The Australian Government will not pay your tuition fee for that unit.
The census date deadlines cannot be extended.
