Course Fees and Census Dates
Course Costs
For on-campus studies students pay $19,200. If you are eligible for state subsidised fees, your fees may vary depending on state subsidies available to you and the remaining co-contribution fee you have to pay.
AACM’s on-campus calendar is based on 4 academic terms each year. Each term is 10 weeks long and students are enrolled and study selected units(s) of study each term. Depending on your enrolment as a full time or part time student and your progress through the course, you may enrol and study one or multiple unit(s) of study each term. The 4 academic terms represent the fee periods for VET Student Loans.
The Census Day is the last date you can withdraw from your course or unit(s) of study without incurring a debt for the unit(s) of study you are enrolled in. The Census Day is no later than 20% into a term and usually falls on the Wednesday of week 3.
