• Am I eligible for the saving?

  You are eligible if you have completed an award/degree course at UTS. The saving also applies to eligible course if you are in any of the following categories:

  • Newly completed students who have yet to formally graduate but have completed the requirements
  • Alumni from antecedent institutions who meet the minimum qualifications and can be verified by the UTS Advancement office
  • Alumni who are in receipt of other scholarships/sponsorships
  • Alumni undertaking a full fee paying award course
  • Alumni receiving the benefit who transfer between eligible degrees

• Who is not eligible for the saving?

  The saving is not available to those in a:

  • Commonwealth Supported Place
  • Research Training Scheme place
  • UTS Course delivered offshore

  The saving is also not available to those:

  • Studying at UTS for one or two sessions (Exchange and Study Abroad students)
  • Students who articulate to higher awards within "nested courses"
    • For example, students undertaking a Graduate Certificate that articulates directly into a “nested” Graduate Diploma or Master’s degree, etc.
  • Undertaking a pathway or enabling course through UTS College (or other pathway provider)
  • Non-award Courses
  • UTS Short Courses (some courses already provide a 10% saving to alumni)

• How much is the saving?

  10% on the full tuition fee per eligible course.

• What courses does the saving apply to?

  It applies to all eligible alumni undertaking full fee paying postgraduate, undergraduate or research award courses below:

  • Graduate Certificate
  • Graduate Diploma
  • Bachelors Degree
  • Masters (by coursework or research)
  • High degree Research (PhD)

• If I get fee-help to pay for my post-graduate course am I eligible for the saving?

  Yes, so long as you are eligible as an alumnus of UTS, and the course is eligible, you will get the savings applied to your fees.

• I am a current student and UTS graduate studying a postgraduate program - can I get the saving for the remainder of my course?

  Yes, if you are already an alumnus of UTS you will have the saving applied to future fee invoices. It will not apply retrospectively to subjects already invoiced and paid.

• How do I apply for the saving?

  You will automatically receive the saving on enrolment if you are an alumnus and the course is eligible for the saving. Normal application close dates apply.

• Why aren't Commonwealth Supported Places included in the saving?

  Students studying on a Commonwealth Supported Place are already receiving a subsidy on their fees, so are not entitled to an additional fee reduction under the Alumni Advantage program.

• I graduated from an antecedent institution (pre 1988) - am I able to get the saving?

  Yes, alumni from antecedent institutions are eligible for the Alumni Advantage as long as you can:

  • Be verified by the UTS Advancement office
  • Meet the minimum qualification level. For graduates of UTS antecedent institutions, this includes those who completed Diploma-level degrees equivalent to (or should be considered as such given the passage of time) Bachelor-level degrees, as per the Australian Higher Education Australian Quality Framework (AQF). 

  See a list of antecedent institutions.

  If you would like to confirm that your qualification meets the minimum requirements, please contact the UTS Advancement office.

• If I am accepted into an eligible course, how is the saving applied?

  Savings are automatically applied to your invoice on enrolment.

• Where do I find out more about the courses I could apply for?

  You can find details of all UTS courses on our Future Students website.
