How and when do you get a commonwealth supported place in uni & HECS? (1 Viewer)

[laila09]

Hey everyone!

Next year I would like to pay my uni fees on HECS as I dont exactly have the money at the current time.

It says to do this I must be in a commonwealth supported course.

I am going to go b/arts and dip ed at Maquarie university.
How do I go about achieving HECS?

Do I have to apply now or do I apply on my first day of uni?

Thank you so much for your help!

It's automatic I believe and you'll be notified otherwise if you don't get in on a CSP

When you enrol. Simple process, your details and TFN are what is usually asked

Nowadays (i.e. since Kevin Rudd) almost all domestic places are CSP. You'll get a Commonwealth Assistance Form (or online equivalent) on the day you enrol at uni, which is the formal application for HECS-HELP.

Its not a hard process, but if you don't yet have one, I would apply for a TFN NOW so that you have one ready for enrolment.

Its a matter of filling out a form when you enrol but seriously get your TFN now, makes it so much easier

Also handy for avoiding having 45% tax taken out of your pay when you work...
