Fees for assessed and non-assessed subjects
All fees must be paid prior to commencing studies, including fees for year-long subjects. It is not possible to defer the payment of CAP fees. The University of Melbourne is unable to administer sponsorships for CAP students (e.g. when tuition fee is paid by your employer). Invoice is issued directly to the student.

Fee policy for CAP students
- When you enrol in CAP you are agreeing to pay the tuition fees determined by the University.
- Fee payments are made in advance of the commencement of semester. All fees must be paid by the due date listed on your Statement of Liability, or you may receive a late payment penalty and/or your enrolment may be cancelled.
- Tuition fees are based on the costs of teaching the subjects you intend to study and the demand for the discipline in which they fall. Your total fees will vary depending upon the subjects you have selected, whether you have elected to have your studies assessed, and whether you have been awarded a bursary. Precise fee details are available from the faculty responsible for the subjects you intend to undertake.
- Payment of fees by installments is not possible, and it is not possible to defer your fee payments.
- Under Commonwealth legislation, CAP students are not eligible to apply for HECS-HELP.
- FEE-HELP may only be available for qualifying bridging study in accordance with Commonwealth requirements.
