Fees and Charges

Our staff at reception are here to assist students in any queries relating to fees. Tuition fees are invoiced via email or mail to students at the beginning of semester.

Fees that are charged by the Seminary can include any tuition, examination or other fees payable to the Seminary by a person enrolled, or applying for enrolment with the Seminary.

Financial Assistance

FEE Help is a Commonwealth Government loan given to eligible fee paying students to help pay part or all of their tuition fees. Students enrolled in an ACT accredited course, and who are Australian Citizens, are eligible to apply for a FEE HELP loan. Detailed information of FEE HELP can be obtained from the website www.goingtouni.gov.au or ask the office for an information booklet.

Austudy/Youth Allowance (Not applicable to international students):

Full-time students enrolled for either Vose or ACT awards are eligible to apply for Youth Allowance (up to 25), Austudy or Abstudy (over 25), the Commonwealth Government's schemes providing a means-tested living allowance.

Note: Students with at least a 12cp load each semester are regarded as full-time. It is possible to combine ACT and Vose units to meet this criterion. Contact the Academic Dean for details.

For students with a previous Bachelor's degree, under present regulations:

  • Austudy is available for full-time Vose awards, and for any Graduate Diploma.
  • Austudy is not available for full-time BMin/BTh study, unless the previous degree was awarded ten years previously.
