Fees

2011 Summer School units are Commonwealth Supported. Students (Australian Citizens) wishing to defer their fees must complete a Commonwealth Support and HECS-HELP form via My Enrolment – My Commonwealth Assistance Forms, once their enrolment has been processed.

Social Events

During the Summer School we invite students to a welcome function at the Community Centre. This is a great way to network and meet fellow students and lecturers in a pleasant and casual environment.
