International Tuition Fees
For information on international tuition rates, please see the Fees - International @ UOW web page.
Upon commencement tuition fees are paid up front - one session at a time.
The offer letter states the tuition fee payable per session for the first year of your enrolment, provided that you accept the current offer and commencement date. Students commencing in 2011 in courses of more than one year duration are subject to annual fee increases in subsequent years of enrolment, except for students who accepted and made payment for their course before 1 December 2010.
For international students enrolling in a Non Award Course, fees payable are the current years’ tuition fees relevant to the appropriate course as listed in the attachments below.
Please note: Should you change your course or campus after you have enrolled in your original course, you will be liable to pay the current tuition fees for the new course/or campus as displayed in your Fees Statement via SOLS. Please check the current fees links provided below for listings.
Students who in any one session undertake credit points in addition to the normal full-time load of 24 credit points per session, or 48 credit points per year, will be required to pay extra fees for that session at the equivalent rate per extra credit point.
You can view the listings below.
For information on international tuition rates, please see the Fees - International @ UOW web page.
Please note fees may differ from your original offer to the University of Wollongong due to the following reasons:
- Change course preferences
- Campus changes
- Course transfers
- Enrolment in more that 24 credit points
- Annual and Intake enrolments (due dates are stated in your Fees Statement on SOLS)
Example: Ali commenced his Bachelor of Commerce in Spring session 2010 at $9600.00 (24 credit points a session) which is $400.00 per credit point.
He then requests a course transfer to the Bachelor of Information Systems, affective in Spring session 2011.
His fees for Spring session 2011 will increase to the 2011 Bachelor of Information Systems amount $11640.00 (24 credit points a session) which is now $485.00 per credit point.
Your Fee Statement in SOLS should always reflect your most up to date fees record including due dates.

Sponsored Students
As stated in the UOW Fees Policy (Section 5.18-5.22), the University of Wollongong considers a sponsor as a third party, who pays tuition fees and charges on the student’s behalf and has a formal agreement for sponsorship with the University of Wollongong.
Students who have a private agreement with a third party are not considered a sponsored student by the University of Wollongong.
For sponsored students (as defined above), the University of Wollongong shall invoice the sponsor directly for the student’s fees and charges after the relevant census date.
Further information about sponsorship payment arrangements can be obtained from Student Central.
Official Fee Statements (for overseas funds to be released)
As international students, overseas financial institutions may require a formal fee statement from the University of Wollongong detailing a student's charges, estimated living costs and tuition fees. These forms are called Course Fees and Living Costs letters and are available for both fee paying international students and sponsored international students.
Examples:

The University of Wollongong cannot produce an Official Fee Statement for a session you are not yet enrolled in, so please remember to state the session and year you require the statement for.
