Non-award, Audit and Cross-institutional

Non-Award

Non-award students are those students who are not enrolled in a program but may be enrolled in individual courses. The student will still be assessed for those courses.

Non-award students may also not enrol in courses worth more than nine units in any semester and may not, under normal circumstances, complete courses totalling more than one quarter of the total units for any program

Tuition fees

Students shall pay fees determined by the university and will be charged on a per unit basis according to the level of the course (undergraduate course or postgraduate course) and the unit value of the course.

For example, a domestic student wishes to study a 4.5 unit undergraduate course then they would pay $28,300 / 36 = $786.11 per unit and then x 4.5 which equals $3,537.50.

 Audit

Audit enrolment is a type of enrolment where a student can attend a single course but is not enrolled in any program. The student will attend the course for information only and will not be assessed for the course. Audit enrolment cannot be used to gain credit towards future enrolment in an award program.

Tuition fee

Audit students will be required to pay a tuition fee as determined annually by the university and will be charged on a per unit basis according to the unit value of the course.

For example, if we take the table below, and assume that a student wishes to study a 4.5 unit course then they would pay $11,700 / 36 = $325 per unit and then x 4.5 which equals $1,462.50.

Cross-institutional

Commonwealth Supported fees

Students enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported program at their Home University will be commonweath supported for their cross-institutional enrolmnent at UniSA also and should refer to the information for Commonwealth Supported Students

Tuition fee

Incoming fee-paying cross-institutional students will be charged a tuition fee determined by the university and calculated based on the level of the program and the enrolment load.

For example, a domestic student wishes to study a 4.5 unit postgraduate course then they would pay $28,300/ 36 = $786.11 per unit and then x 4.5 which equals $3,537.50.
