inception Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I recently received my permanent residency. I am currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree at an Australian university. I know I have to pay the international student fee for this semester since I received my permanent residency only after the census date at uni. However, for next semester what fees will I have to pay? I know I am not eligible for a Commonwealth supported place as I am not a citizen yet but is there a different fee for permananent residents?... or do I still have to continue paying international student fees until the end of my course since I was not a permanent resident at the time I applied for the course? The new domestic fees will only apply to me for any new courses that I enrol in...? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 You are eligible for Commonwealth supported places at uni as a PR - I was on one when I was at uni!!! it depends on the course as to whether it is offered though. The only difference for a PR compared to a citizen, is that each term you will have to pay your fees upfront and you will not get a discount for doing so. As a citizen, you can either nominate to pay fees upfront and have a discount for doing so, or defer payment and repay your loan once you are working. I expect you have seen this site, but it's pretty useful. The Going to Uni Homepage Love Rudi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
