Fee Statements now Available (1 Viewer)

[biopia]

I got an email saying my fee statement is now available.

I remember there being a post asking when it was going to be released.

Yea, got mine, what are we meant to do with them? (I'm deferring all payment)

 

[biopia]

I am pretty sure it's just to make sure all the details are correct? I am deferring payment too, so as long as it says that, I am fine.

I understand that for people who are paying upfront, that the fee statement would be of more concern haha.

I selected the pay $500 upfront to get 20% discount option, but I have no outstanding liability, how am I supposed to pay this???

Actually, I did the same thing, and nothing came up for me either. Maybe they just take it as an indication, and you just pay it before the census date? :S

Ok I did some investigating, unfortunately, you only get the discount on the portion that you pay, not an automatic 20% discount off the total. You can pay extra if you want to get some discount, you just go to payment options and do it anyway, so say if you payed $1000 of it now you would save $200 total.

not worth it

Yep that would be my post asking about it. ^^
I'm going to pay upfront to get the 20% off the total.

 

[tommykins]

you don't get 20% off the total.

Yes, it says no liability because if you choose to, you can not pay and they will automatically defer it for you. But you can pay anyway upfront and they will automatically update the fee statement sometime after census date.

I've been having trouble working out how they work out the discount...paying $500 upfront actually got me $125 discount last year..any mathematician can lend a hand?

 

[red-butterfly]

o__O i got my statement recently too... i chose partical payment can i just change it to be defered?

Will probably go pay this at the psot office on campus as that seems like the easiest way and least chance of screwing it up.

To find what 20% of an amount Y is you do Y x 20/100.
So 20% of 500 is 500 x 20/100 = 100.
You should've only gotten a $125 if you payed $625 - i guess you were lucky

So i too have chosen the otion of possibly paying some of HECS off and if i pay $500 or more it's worth an extra 25%

If i do want to pay some of HECS off, do i have to pay before the Census date for it to count? Or can i pay whenever i want? :/

Definitely pay before the census date.

Edit: Just a guess. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if it's logical either.

Apparently there is a 10% discount on any voluntary payments you make... so I would guess that any voluntary payments that you make after the census date would attract the 10% discount.

I thought that was only after you graduate? :S

I hope what you say is true! I'll definitely be trying to pay it off a little during the year if that's the case lol.

Hah, I'm not sure, I'm probably wrong lols. Just taking a guess.

Find any fee-related info in that ^ link.

So basically, if we defer all payment, we don't need to do anything with the fee statement?

Thanks~!

 

[aceofspades1]

i suppose it's stating the obvious but i guess you go to the post office to pay the $500 even though the amount due on the invoice is $0.

Opening Balance($): 0.00 Payment Due by 7 March 2010:0.00 Total Amount Due($): 0.00 *** No Outstanding Balance ***
