You may be able to defer your tuition fees through an Australian Government loan scheme if you meet the eligibility requirements. Students enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place may be eligible for a HECS-HELP loan, while students in fee-paying courses may be eligible for a FEE-HELP loan. If you are not eligible, you will need to pay your tuition fees upfront each study period. See the Southern Cross University fees information page for details.

Advanced standing is recognition of gained knowledge, skills, and abilities through previous study or work experience. If you are eligible, advanced standing may reduce the number of units you need to complete in your course. You can request advanced standing when applying for admission to Southern Cross University or at any time during your enrolment. Your application will be assessed and you will be advised of the outcome.
