Payment options

Check your fees through your eStudent account and choose a payment option that is right for you to ensure that you don't miss a payment.

Check your fees

Once you’ve enrolled in your unit(s), you can check your fees through your eStudent account:

  1. Log in to eStudent.
  2. Select ‘My Finances’.

To pay your fees upfront, refer to the How To Pay section below.

Tax Invoice – Unpaid Charges (Statement of Outstanding Charges)

The Tax Invoice – Unpaid Charges is an official University document showing your fees and payment due date. It also contains the 17-digit reference number required for phone payment.

If you require a tax invoice, you can obtain a copy through eStudent prior to making a payment:

  1. Log in to eStudent.
  2. Select ‘My Finances’.
  3. Select ‘Email my Statement of Outstanding Charges for the last 180 days’ (bottom of the page).
  4. Check your MQ student email for the document.

This document can also be provided to third parties – such as banks, employers and sponsors – to confirm the fee amounts you are required to pay to Macquarie University.

How to pay

The bank details required for making telegraphic transfer can be found on the ‘Payment Instructions’ document obtained through the Western Union Global Pay website.

When completing the transfer of funds, please ensure the currency of transfer is the same as the currency noted on the ‘Payment Instructions’ and the reference number is also included.

Macquarie University does not apply a surcharge for card payment.

For overseas issued cards, the issuing bank may have surcharges for international payments. It is recommended you check with your card issuer prior to completing payment.

Avoiding scams and payment frauds

Macquarie University does not offer discounted or reduced tuition fees.

Tuition fees are set by the University and discounts are not offered under any circumstances. Don't be fooled by anyone who offers a discounted fee – this is a scam.

Other types of scams include selling items at discounted rates, such as airline tickets or discounted exchange rates.

How to protect yourself

  • Be responsible for paying your own tuition fees directly to the University.
  • Know the approved methods of payment.
  • Never trust anyone who is claiming that they can offer you discounted fees, including a “friend” or “friend of a friend” or anyone acting as an “agency”.
  • Protect your privacy – Don’t give your personal information to another person, including your eStudent password.

For more information on how to protect yourself from scams go to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission website, SCAMwatch.
