| 00000 | Not an overseas student, or an overseas student who is not subject to minimum indicative fee |
| 00001 to 99999 | Fee charged, in whole dollars, for the course undertaken at the Higher Education Provider. |
Overseas fee amounts reported for a student/course on all enrolment files submitted to the department in a calendar year will be aggregated to form the total tuition fee for the year. This amount will be used for the administration of fees for students subject to minimum indicative fees.
Overseas students who do not need to meet minimum indicative fees requirement are:
- Overseas students in a course of study for which the department has approved charges less than the minimum indicative fee.
- Overseas student undertaking study in Australia as part of a formal exchange programme including Research students under co‑tutelle arrangements.
- Overseas students undertaking study in Australia towards a Research Masters degree or a Research Doctoral degree who have been awarded a scholarship for that study on the basis of merit following a competitive process.
- Overseas students undertaking study wholly off‑shore at an off‑shore campus of an Australian Higher Education provider.
Summary
Element 500 was included as part of the Higher Education Student data collection under the new policy and program initiatives introduced under the Opens in a new window: Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) which was implemented in 2005.
