Commonwealth supported students who commenced their studies before 1 January 2021
The Australian Government’s Job-ready Graduates program made changes to fees for CSP students who commence a new course of study from 1 January 2021. Under the package, some students are 'grandfathered students', meaning they continue to pay their original fee rate. If you transfer to a new course to do honours, you may not be grandfathered and may be charged the new fee rates for honours. Read our page on the Job-ready Graduates Package for more information about the changes.
The Bachelor of Advanced Computing has embedded honours. The rules regarding honours vary depending on the year you commenced your course. If you have transferred into or out of a combined degree, your commencement year is the one in which the transfer occurred.
