Full fee-paying students

Fee paying student places are not subsidised by the government. This means you'll need to cover the full cost of your course.

Most of our domestic undergraduate students will receive a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP). You may be required to be a fee paying student if you do not meet CSP eligibility criteria or if you submit a written request declining your CSP. If you're studying a postgraduate course you'll most likely be a fee paying student.

FEE-HELP loan

A FEE-HELP loan is a great way to make investing in your future achievable.

FEE-HELP loans:

  • defer part or all of your course fees
  • only start repayments when you earn above the threshold set by the government
  • allow you to repay your loan through the taxation system.

Tax deduction

If there's a direct connection between your study and work, you may be able to claim your tuition fees as a tax deduction. For further guidance, please seek independent advice or visit the ATO website.

Note: Domestic full fee paying undergraduate courses at Charles Sturt have been fully replaced by Commonwealth Supported Places in 2022.

If you are not eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place or wish to decline your offer, the cost per 8 point subjects is $3000.

In line with Australian Government's commitment to phase out domestic full fee paying undergraduate places in public universities, most undergraduate courses at Charles Sturt University offer Commonwealth Supported Places.

For all course information including session intakes refer to study.csu.edu.au/apply/process

Tuition fees are subject to review and may increase.

Domestic students who have a Research Training Program (RTP) place are funded by the government. Research Training Program Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Please see the HDR Scholarships on offer. If you do not possess a scholarship that covers your tuition fees, you will be liable for tuition fees (see above for details).

RTP students are entitled to three years full-time equivalent study if undertaking an eligible Doctorate degree by research and a maximum of two years full-time equivalent study if undertaking a Masters degree by research. The maximum period of entitlement is calculated from the course commencement date. RTP students may be eligible to apply for an extension of their scholarship.

Candidates who exceed their RTP entitlement are required to pay the appropriate domestic student tuition fee for their course.

At Charles Sturt, Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates are only required to be enrolled for sessions 1 and 2 to be considered enrolled for the whole year. One session at full-time is one-half year of RTP entitlement and one session at part-time is one-quarter year of RTP entitlement.
