If you are enrolled in a subject or subjects, which do not count towards a formal award course at UTS, or at another Australian university, your enrolment is classed as non-award.

UTS only offers non-award study on a full tuition fee-paying basis and students are charged tuition fees per subject.

You can use our Fees search: Non-award and non CSP (subject) to view Non-award subject fees for the current year. 

If you are enrolled as a non-award student, you are not eligible for any Commonwealth support or assistance and need to meet the full cost of tuition fees.

You must make payment of fees in full by the due date. If you do not pay on time, a late fee will be charged and your enrolment may be cancelled.

Domestic undergraduate fee-paying places at UTS

In line with the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA), UTS does not offer fee‑paying domestic undergraduate places. Approved higher education providers are required to enrol eligible domestic undergraduate students as Commonwealth supported students, and all domestic undergraduate offers at UTS are Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) [HESA section 36-30]. 

As a Commonwealth supported student, the Australian Government contributes towards the cost of your education. You are required to pay student contribution amounts for each enrolled unit of study. You may also be required to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

Student contribution amounts and any other applicable fees must be paid in full by the relevant due date, or you must meet the eligibility requirements for a HELP loan and successfully submit the required loan form on or before the census date.

If, after the census date, you have outstanding fees and/or do not meet the requirements for HELP assistance, UTS is required to withdraw you from your enrolled subjects for that session [HESA subsection 36-40(2)]. Withdrawals that occur after census are final for that session and cannot be reversed or changed.

A person may choose not to be treated as a Commonwealth supported student for a unit of study. Under HESA, where a person provides written notice via an Ask UTS enquiry addressed to the Director, Student Administration on or before the census date stating that they do not wish to be a Commonwealth supported student for that unit, UTS must not treat the person as a Commonwealth supported student in relation to that unit [HESA subsection 36‑10(3)–(4)].
