The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is to provide student services such as network access, library, Student Association, as well as student amenities on campus.

Students will be required to pay the cost of providing goods or materials to be retained as personal property and purchased through the University, such as tools of trade, class materials, computer disks, uniforms and books. Some of these items form part of the overall fees and are payable on enrolment day. Students should contact the School for the total materials payable.
Ancillaries, such as excursion costs, may be payable for some courses. Contact the School for further details.

Invoicing of Fees
If fees are to be invoiced to an Employer or Agency, a written authority from the Employer or Agency is required on enrolment day.
Note: The concession rate will not apply when the student's tuition contribution is being met by a Commonwealth Government Agency, or as part of a Commonwealth program initiative, as instructed in the Ministerial Guidelines.

Any student who has an outstanding University debt will not be eligible to:
- enrol or re-enrol;
- receive a statement of results or academic transcript;
- graduate or receive an award of the University;

Refunds
The following refunds policy applies.
It is the responsibility of the student to provide written advice of withdrawal by completing a withdrawal form. These forms are available from the Student Centre or the School and must be signed by a School representative.
- Students who withdraw within four weeks of the scheduled commencement date of classes in order to take up a place at another tertiary institution will receive a full refund of all fees paid. A copy of the letter of offer or receipt will need to be provided.
- Students who withdraw within four weeks of the scheduled commencement date of classes for other reasons will receive a refund of fees paid, less $53.00 administration charge. Note: The four week period is taken from the date of the student's first class.
- Students who do not attend class for four weeks and do not complete a withdrawal form within this period will not receive a refund.
- Students who withdraw after four weeks of the scheduled commencement date of classes will not receive a refund. However, if a student is able to demonstrate that changed circumstances have created extreme financial hardship, they may apply in writing to the DVC Vocational and Further Education and may receive a full or partial refund.
- Withdrawals must be in writing or on a signed Withdrawal Form. Advice of withdrawal made by telephone will not be actioned.
- Any refund will be payable by cheque within three weeks of the Withdrawal Form being received at the Student Centre. Receipt for enrolment fees must accompany withdrawal form.
- When a student transfers from TAFE to Higher Education after a four week period, a pro rata refund will be given. The relevant fee will then be charged at Higher Education.
