Loan fee (E529) Calculation


Fee-HELP loading is an additional charge that the Government imposes on Undergraduate students for the privilege of using Fee-HELP. It is currently (as at 2022) set at 20%. The loading does not count toward the student FEE-HELP Limit. This loading is not imposed on Postgraduate students meaning Postgraduate students can use Fee-HELP but are not charged for the loading.

The total amount deferred to the government on the student's behalf is calculated as tuition + 20%. For example, if the Unit fee is set at $1000.00 an additional $200.00 is added on.

Students have the option of paying part of their tuition fee for the unit upfront to their provider on or before the census date and obtaining FEE-HELP for the remainder.

The Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) recognises a student’s right to make a partial payment of their tuition fees and does not place additional restrictions on a student’s use of FEE-HELP in circumstances where they choose to make part payment towards the fees for a unit, or where their remaining FEE-HELP balance covers only part of the tuition fee.

The amount of FEE-HELP for a unit of study is the difference between the tuition fee for the unit and the sum of any upfront payments the student has made on or before the census date.

Therefore over a student’s lifetime, they are able to use FEE-HELP to pay all or part of their tuition fees for a unit of study, up to the amount of the FEE-HELP limit.

The loading is only charged to students who have an amount deferred to Fee-HELP. This amount is also proportional. If the student pays $500.00 upfront, then defers the remaining $500.00 to Fee-Help the load is 20% of the remaining amount, in this case, $100.00.

Unit of Study Status Code (E355) Reporting

All directly student-related records within Paradigm should be assigned a status code from the defined list of available statuses that reflects the best-known state of that record. Using a single field to track the overall status of a record greatly simplifies reporting. It is strongly recommended that the status field is maintained as the student progresses through their studies as part of the overall student life cycle.

Changing the unit enrolment status will auto-update the reported TCSI Unit of study status code (E355).

Further details regarding the default system status codes and their recommended use are described in these pages:
