Domestic student fees
Unique Student Identifier (USI)
Students who commenced their course of study or transferred to a new course after January 1, 2021 must supply their Unique Student Identifier (USI) to La Trobe before the first census date for their course. Failure to do so may result in you having to pay full fees for your course.
We calculate your fees by multiplying the:
- study load for a subject (based on 120 credit points a year for a full study load), by the
- subject's contribution rate (depends on its band and the year you started your course).
We then round down to the nearest $1.
Example:
If the study load for a subject is 0.125 and its contribution rate is $9,314:
0.125 x $9,314 = $1,164.250 rounded down to $1,164.00
