Variable Explanation
EFTSL
An EFTSL (Equivalent Full Time Student Load) is a measure of study load. One EFTSL is equivalent to 100 credit points and represents a standard annual full time load. A subject's fee is calculated based on a subject's EFTSL.
Discipline Fee Band
Subject fees are set within a fixed number of bands based on the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) discipline classification of the subject. Different prices are charged for undergraduate and postgraduate study, based on the cost of teaching the subjects and the demand for the discipline in which they fall.
Level (U or P)
Every subject is classified as either an undergraduate (U) or postgraduate (P) subject depending on the level at which it is taught. Depending on the rules of your course, it may be possible for postgraduate students to take undergraduate subjects and undergraduate students to take postgraduate subjects.
Census Date
The census date for a subject is the last date that a person can withdraw from that subject without incurring fee liabilities. For Australian students in fee places who are eligible for FEE-HELP, the census date for the subject is the closing date for the requesting FEE-HELP assistance. For Australian students in Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) who are eligible for HECS-HELP, the census date for the subject is the closing date for requesting HECS-HELP.
