AM I ELIGIBLE FOR A CSP?
All domestic undergraduate students are eligible for a CSP. Check to see if this is you:

An Australian / New Zealand citizen living in Australia
A holder of an Australian permanent visa (including humanitarian) living in Australia
HOW MUCH ARE MY FEES?
UOW publishes Commonwealth Supported subject charges in the course handbook. You can search for subjects relevant to your degree, and view their student contribution amounts.

If you have enrolled in your subjects, you can click on your subject codes in ‘Enrolment and Variations’ in SOLS which will directly take you to the subject page in the course handbook.

You can also use Student Contribution Banding (see section below) to calculate approximate fees based on your subjects and the Student Contribution Band.

CALCULATING CSP FEES:
Your student contribution amount is calculated per subject based on the Equivalent Full-time Study Load (EFTSL) subject value and student contribution band (subject cluster) it belongs to.

For most UOW courses, one year of full-time study (1 EFTSL) is 48 credit points. The EFTSL value of individual subjects is found by dividing the credit points of that subject by 1 EFTSL.

For example, a 6 credit point subject represents 6/48 of a full-time load, which gives 0.125 as the EFTSL value for the subject.

The table below shows the maximum student contribution amount for 1 EFTSL per subject cluster that may be charged by a University in 2015 as set by the Australian Government. These are Student Contribution Bands and are available on the Study Assist website.

BANDS STUDENT CONTRIBUTION BAND STUDENT CONTRIBUTION PER 1.0 EFTSL
Band 3
Law, Accounting, Administration, Economics, Commerce, Dentistry, Medicine and Veterinary Science

$10,266
Band 2

Computing, Built Environment, Other Health, Allied Health, Engineering, Surveying, Agriculture, Mathematics, Statistics and Science $8,768
Band 1

Humanities, Behavioural Science, Social Studies, Clinical Psychology, Foreign Languages, Visual and Performing Arts, Nursing, Education $6,152
CALCULATE YOUR STUDENT CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT:
The formula for calculating the student contribution amount for a subject is as follows:

Student contribution per 1.0 EFTSL x (Multiplied) EFTSL value for the subject

The final amount is rounded down to the nearest dollar.

For example:

John has enrolled in ACCY111 which is an Accounting subject worth 6 credit points (0.125 EFTSL). The student contribution amount for this subject is therefore:

$10,266 x 0.125

=

$1,283 (Rounded down)

WHAT IF I'M DOING SUBJECTS FROM DIFFERENT STUDENT CONTRIBUTION BANDS?
The process stays the same, but you will need to calculate each subject cluster separately.

For example

Anne is enrolling in a Bachelor of Arts. In 2015, she is enrolling in 5 Arts subjects, 2 Commerce subjects and 1 Law subject. Each subject is 6 credit points (0.125 EFTSL). Anne's student contribution amounts for these subjects will be:

$6,152 x (5 x 0.125)

=

$3,845.00 +

$10,266 x (2 x 0.125)

=

$2,566.50 +

$10,266 x (1 x 0.125)

=

$1,283.25

TOTAL

=

$7,694.75
