When to pay

Tuition fees are due for each teaching period in which you are enrolled, and there are many due dates during the academic year.

  • After you have enrolled in your units, you will receive an email to your student email account approximately 2-4 weeks before the due date, advising that your Statement of Account is available on SIMO. This statement outlines the amount you need to pay.
  • If you are enrolled in teaching periods outside of Semester 1 and Semester 2, such as a practicum, terms and trimesters, you will receive a separate Statement of Account for those units before the relevant due date.
  • If you are eligible for a HELP loan but choose to pay all or part up-front, you must ensure payment is made by the due date.
  • To receive Commonwealth assistance (e.g. a Commonwealth supported place or HELP loan), you must complete an electronic Commonwealth assistance form (eCAF) or provide required documentation by the administrative date to avoid an encumbrance on your student record.
  • Payments will not be accepted after the census date.

Fee due date

Your tuition fees must be paid before the census date. This allows the University time to process your payment and update your student account.

  • The due date is shown on your statement of account in SIMO.
  • To avoid overdue notices and late payment fees:
    • Pay your fees by the due date, or
    • Ensure your HELP loan preference is recorded (if eligible).

For fee due dates, visit the Money Matters - When to Pay page.

Administrative date

This is a key deadline for students requesting Commonwealth assistance. It ensures the timely submission of required forms.

What do do by this date:

  • Submit your electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) if you are enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP).
  • Provide supporting documents confirming your eligibility for Commonwealth support (e.g. long term residency evidence for New Zealand citizens applying for a HELP loan).

If you miss this date:

  • An encumbrance will be placed on your student record.
  • You will lose access to University services until the form is submitted.

When is it?

  • The Administrative Date occurs on the same date as the fee due date.
