If you have made an overpayment towards your tuition fees or have withdrawn from a subject before the census date, you may be eligible for a refund of any tuition fees already paid for that session.
Domestic students
You may be eligible for a refund of tuition fees paid towards a study session if you paid more than you needed to, or if you formally withdrew from the subject (or course) or applied for leave of absence before the census date of the session.
To request a refund, you can:
- Log in to My Student Admin and enter your bank account details under the Personal tab
- Log in to My Student Portal using your student login details, and submit an online enquiry via Ask UTS with the Fee/Scholarships category.
Refunds are usually paid via an electronic funds transfer (EFT). Please allow up to 2 to 3 weeks for your refund to be processed once your request is received.
