Applying for Fee-Help
WHEN DO I APPLY FOR FEE-HELP?
FEE-HELP funding is linked to your course of study. If you are a new or existing student at the University of Divinity starting a new course or transferring to another course and you wish to secure FEE-HELP funding for that course, you will need to apply using the steps detailed below.
You must submit your application for FEE-HELP (eCAF) before the census date of your first unit. This will be listed on the eCAF. Otherwise, you will have to pay tuition fees in full upfront.
Re-enrolling students within the same course who are already on FEE-HELP do not need to take any action.
HOW TO APPLY FOR FEE-HELP
- Student: Contact us to let us know you wish to apply for FEE-HELP. Your intention to apply for FEE-HELP should be clearly indicated on your admission or re-enrolment (or financial variation) form.
- CTC: We will apply for an eCAF (electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form) on your behalf. You will then receive an email from the Department of Education and Training inviting you to complete your eCAF.
- Student: The invitation will include a web-link which you will access with a Passkey given in the email along with your date of birth. You will need your Tax File No. to complete your eCAF. If there are any errors in your eCAF which you are unable to edit, then you must contact us to correct this before you submit it.
50% PASS RATE RULE
From 1 January 2022, a 50% pass rate rule will apply to all NEW students who access FEE-HELP. Find out more about this change on the University of Divinity FAQ page or by visiting FEE-HELP | StudyAssist.
