How to pay student tuition fees
The student tuition fee for a unit must be paid in full prior to the commencement of a unit. Fees are paid directly to the University of Divinity at the time of admission or re-enrolment.
Students may pay fees by any one of the following methods:
FEE-HELP
Australian citizens and holders of a permanent humanitarian visa may defer the payment of fees through the FEE-HELP loan scheme. Tuition fees are paid by the Australian Government and debited to a loan account. Students are not required to begin repaying the accumulated loan debt until their taxable income rises above the compulsory repayment threshold.
When do I apply for FEE-HELP?
FEE-HELP funding is linked to your course of study. If you are a new or existing student at the University of Divinity starting a new course or transferring to another course and you wish to secure FEE-HELP funding for that course, you will need to apply using the steps detailed below.
You must submit your application for FEE-HELP (eCAF) before the census date of your first unit. This will be listed on the eCAF. Otherwise, you will have to pay tuition fees in full upfront.
Re-enrolling students within the same course who are already on FEE-HELP do not need to take any action.
How to apply for FEE-HELP
Step one (Student): Contact your College to let them know you wish to apply for FEE-HELP. Your intention to apply for FEE-HELP should be clearly indicated on your admission or re-enrolment (or financial variation) form.
Step two (your College): Your College will apply for an eCAF (electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form) on your behalf. You will then receive an email from the Department of Education and Training inviting you to complete your eCAF.
Step three (Student): The invitation will include a web-link which you will access with a Passkey given in the email along with your date of birth. You will need your Tax File No. to complete your eCAF. If there are any errors in your eCAF which you are unable to edit, then you must contact your College to correct this before you submit it.
Loan Fees abolished for University of Divinity students
Changes in 2018 to the FEE-HELP loan scheme mean the University of Divinity is more attractive than ever for people undertaking studies in theology, philosophy and ministry. This fee does not apply to University of Divinity students, including both new and existing students. For more information, visit FEE-HELP | StudyAssist.

Please indicate you wish to pay by BPAY on your admission form, re-enrolment form or enrolment variation form. Your College will then provide you with a Statement of Fees within a few days.

Third party payment
Students whose fees are paid by a third party, such as a sponsor, church, or employer, must provide an official record from the third party such as a letter accepting responsibility for payment of the fees together with the admission form, re-enrolment form or enrolment variation form. The third party will be invoiced directly by the University. Students in this category may also elect to use the BPAY facility and pass the Statement of Fees to the sponsor for prompt payment.
