Notice of Liability (pre-2005 liability information)

Prior to 2005 institutions were legally required under the Higher Education Funding Act to provide a notice of liability to all students undertaking a designated course of study.

A student's Notice of Liability for each semester contains the following information, as of the census date for the semester:

• details of the course
• load
• whether the student is liable under HECS, or is HECS exempt

If the student is HECS-liable, the notice will also include:

• the HECS contribution payable by the student for the semester
• any amount already paid by the student for the semester
• any refund to which the student is entitled, or any additional amount the student is required to pay.

You must check these notices carefully for any liability calculation errors. You only have two weeks to notify the University of any liability calculation errors. Such errors could cost you money.

If you are paying up-front and are entitled to a refund which is indicated by a - (minus) next to the amount payable/refund, a cheque will be mailed to you within 10-14 days from the date of issue by Financial Services.

If you are paying up-front and your total liability is more than the amount already paid, you must make full payment within 7-10 days of the date of issue at the Cashier, Student Administration (Hackett Hall).
