______________________________________________________

[General Note:

The University is permitted to charge fees under section 41 of the Australian National University Act 1991 and section 19-85 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (‘the HES Act’). The Acts are accessible on the Internet at the following website:

Fees Rules relate to types of fees which the University is permitted to charge under the HES Act and which the Council has authorised for collection.  The Rules are designed to be consistent with the HES Act and with Guidelines issued by the Minister under that Act.  The Guidelines are accessible on the Internet at the following website:

Orders are intended to complement the Rules by setting out a framework under which particular fees can be calculated.]

1       Name of Order and commencement

1.1        This Order is the Tuition Fees Order (No. 2) 2012.

1.2        This Order commences on the day after it is registered.

2       Interpretation

2.1        In this Order, unless the contrary intention appears words and expressions used in this Order and in the Fees Rules have the same respective meanings as they have in the Fees Rules.

3       Application

3.1        This Order applies for 2012 to persons to whom the Fees Rules apply.

3.2        Notwithstanding anything else in this Order, if the Vice-Chancellor or a Deputy Vice-Chancellor arranges for a program to be offered in conjunction with another tertiary education institution or educational provider, the arrangement prevails over this Order and this Order is to be interpreted accordingly.

3.3        In addition to and notwithstanding anything else in this Order, if the Vice-Chancellor or a Deputy Vice-Chancellor enters into a contract with a private or government organisation for a program to be offered, in relation to a person undertaking that program the contract prevails over this Order and this Order is to be interpreted accordingly.

4       Fees

4.1        The indicative tuition fees set out in Schedule 1 apply for 2012 to a student to whom this Order applies.

5       Calculation of particular domestic student fees etc

5.1        Particular domestic student tuition and contribution amounts are to be calculated in accordance with the guidelines set out on the following website:

Calculation of particular international student fees etc

6.1        Particular international student tuition and contribution amounts are to be calculated in accordance with the guidelines set out on the following website under International students:

5% cap on fee increase

7.1        A student who remains in his or her current program is protected against substantial fee increases by a 5% cap (compounded annually) applied to the fees he or she paid for his or her commencement year.

[Example:

Jack commenced a Master of Professional Accounting in 2007.  All of Jack's tuition fees for this program are determined by his commencement year.  This program could be completed in 2007 if Jack enrolled on a full-time basis, but he works full-time and is studying part time, so expects to complete the program sometime in 2009. 

Jack has a particular penchant for technology issues in the workplace and would like to undertake course INFS8004 (Information Systems Management in Organisations) at some stage during his program as an elective.

• If Jack enrols in this course in 2007, the tuition fee is $2640.
• If Jack enrols in this course in 2008, the tuition fee increases by 5% ie $2640 x 105% = $2772.
• If Jack enrols in this course in 2009, the tuition fee increases by a further 5 % ie $2772 x 105% = $2910.

He also likes the look of the syllabus for ECON8066 (Issues in Market Design).

• If Jack enrols in this course in 2007, the tuition fee is $2520.
• If Jack enrols in this course in 2008, the tuition fee increases by 5% ie $2520 x 105% = $2646.
• If Jack enrols in this course in 2009, the tuition fee increases by a further 5% ie $2646 x 105% = $2778.
• Other examples are set out in the guidelines mentioned in clause 5.]

8       Extension of program arrangements for higher degree research students

8.1        A student enrolled in a higher degree research program who has successfully obtained an extension of program beyond the normal time limit is to pay fees as follows:

(a)   a domestic student:

is to be granted an exemption scholarship in 2012;

(b)   an international student resident in Australia:

is to pay a subsidized fee of $3,000 (non-laboratory) or $4,000 (laboratory) for a period of 6 months in 2012;

(c)   an international student resident overseas:

is to have his or her tuition fees waived in 2012.

[Notes: Transitional HECS Arrangements

a.    The Business and Economics "Band 2" protection will continue until the end of 2012 in line with the DEEWR transition arrangements.

b.    A student who commenced a program in 2009 was required to pay up to the maximum of the national priorities rate for any mathematics, statistics and science courses the student undertook.  A student who commenced a non-natural and physical sciences program before 1 January 2009 and who transfers into a natural and physical science program will also be eligible for the national priority amount.  Other students continue to pay up to the Band 2 maximum for mathematics, statistics and science courses.]

NOTES

1 Some courses taken at overseas institutions may cost up to $600 per unit (PP=S).

2 Flat rate, non-refundable administrative and examination charge.

3 For domestic students the fees are based on the fees for the individual courses in which the students enroll.

4 The GDLP has several different fee rates dependent on the way a student configures their program.  Schedule 3 illustrates these fees in detail.

5 This is a flat rate as required by contractual obligation for this Program.

6 For the MPH, common courses within the CHMD program will be charged as CASS related courses.

7 The Study Abroad rate is determined by using the price points for 12 units of undergraduate Science and 12 units of undergraduate Arts and is an indicative program fee only. This is the fee to be charged to nominated sponsors as a flat program fee per semester.

8 The courses ENGN8110, ENGN8120, ENGN8130 and ENGN8140 are part of our joint MEP with UniSA and will be charged at Price Point J for DTF students.

9 CHMD8004 will be charged at Price Point H if taken as part of the Master of Culture, Health and Medicine program.

10 Coursework courses taken as part of a research program will be charged at the relevant coursework rate.  The indicative fee listed is based on undertaking one coursework course each year. If more than one coursework course is undertaken in one academic year then the indicative fee is likely to be higher for that year.
