Module Fees for 2007

Module fees cover all classes and tuition for the duration of the module, course materials (excluding text books and accessories), outgoing postage costs (for return of assignments, etc) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) where applicable.

Module fees also cover all meals and accommodation during: the Residential Learning Period, optional Student Weekends, optional seven additional days stay; and the Final Assessment Period.

The Standard Module Fee is equivalent to the Shared Room fee for each module.  The Shared Room is based on three people sharing accommodation in simple rooms, with communal shower/ toilet facilities.  Rooms are carpeted, include single beds and/or bunks, a simple cupboard and, in some rooms, a bedside table.

Other accommodation options are available and fees are adjusted accordingly for each.  Please note:

  • The Shared Ensuite option requires a minimum of three people who have also selected this option;
  • The Twin Room option requires sharing with someone who has also selected this option;
  • The Camping option is equal to the Shared Room module fee.
  • Students who are loud snorers and are unable to share a room because of this will be required to pay the equivalent of the Twin Room rate for the nights in which they do not share a room.
  • All fees quoted are in Australian dollars.  Fees are revised annually and are usually increased.
