Important information

You must be able to demonstrate that the special circumstances have had a significant impact on your financial situation and your ability to make payment of your tuition fees and provide supporting evidence.

Payment plan applications which are submitted without supporting evidence will be denied. A personal statement is not considered sufficient evidence of special circumstances.

If successful, the amount due for each instalment will appear on your my Student Centre invoice after your payment plan application is received and processed. Please allow a minimum of 10 business days for processing.

If you do not successfully apply for a payment plan your fees will be due on the semester census date 15 August 2024.

All communications will be sent to your Federation University email address (example: yourname@students.federation.edu.au).
