Refund policy
La Trobe University has a refund policy to deal with certain circumstances. Please view the Policy (PDF 64KB) if you have any questions. Refund application forms are available at www.latrobe.edu.au/students/fees/course/refunds.
Tuition fees
Please note that all tuition fees are shown on this website are in Australian dollars and do not include the cost of text books or living expenses such as food, accommodation, transport and medical costs. All course tuition fees are in the Find a course website.
Tuition fees shown are also based on the standard annual credit point load for courses (e.g. 120 credit points per year). In some courses or due to student load variations, semester loads may vary above or below the normal credit point load per semester. Students will be invoiced for fees based on their actual credit point load per semester.
Tuition fee arrangements
Tuition Fees are subject to change each year. The University reserves the right to vary fees on an annual basis. Fees will not normally rise above 7 per cent per annum. Should the University decide to increase its fees, that increase will take effect on 1 January of the following year.
Student assistance schemes
Please note that from 1 January 2005, due to Australian Government changes, international students who commence studying in Australia on a student visa and subsequently obtain Permanent Residency will NOT be eligible to access fee assistance schemes (e.g. HECS-HELP, FEE- HELP), unless they are holders of an Australian Permanent Humanitarian Visa.
Transitional arrangements are in place for international students who commenced study prior to 2005. Further information can be found at the Australian Government's website Backing Australia's Future.
High achieving international students may be eligible to apply for a scholarship to study at La Trobe University. Please visit our Scholarships page.
