View your SSAF
If the SSAF fee applies to you, it will be loaded into your account the day after you enrol in individual units. The SSAF is based on how many units you enrol into per session/term.
You can find out how much SSAF you owe by checking your eStudent > My Finances.
If you change your full/part-time study load after the SSAF is calculated, an adjustment will be made to the initial fee charged. The final SSAF fee you are liable for is based on your unit enrolments from the relevant study period census date.
Both up-front payments and deferral submissions to SA-HELP must be made by the relevant due dates.
