Ask about fees and finance

Different payment methods are available for paying RMIT tuition fees.

We encourage current students to pay their tuition fee directly through myRMIT or via RMIT payment website.

You may refer to this website for further information about payment methods.

Course fees for higher education programs must be paid by the Payment Date – Friday of Week 3, except for:

• Block courses: payment is due by Friday of the first week of the block.

• Postgraduate intensive courses: payment is due by the day before the course start date.

For English programs, course fees must be paid by Wednesday of the week preceding the course commencement date.

Further information is available on the Tuition fees page.

Payment confirmation and processing timelines vary depending on the payment method used:

• myRMIT payments: A payment confirmation email will be sent to your student email address once the transaction is successfully completed.

• RMIT payment website: A payment confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided during the payment process.

• Bank transfers: Payments will be reflected in your student account within 2-3 business days of the payment date, excluding weekends and public holidays.

Failure to pay all fees and charges by the Payment Date may result in a student being withdrawn from all enrolled courses and placed on administrative Cancellation unless exceptional circumstances apply, and a timely application is lodged and approved.

Where students are placed on administrative Cancellation for unpaid fees, they will be considered to have withdrawn prior to the Census Date, and fees and charges will be adjusted accordingly.

In addition, students with outstanding fees and charges will have certain restrictions placed on them, including restrictions on enrolment, obtaining a transcript of results or Statement of Academic Completion, receiving an award, access to myRMIT, and access to some support services.

There may be additional implications for international students where enrolment is cancelled, including an obligation for RMIT Vietnam to report to the immigration authorities about changes to an international student’s enrolment status.

For more details, please refer to Student Fees and Charges Guide.

RMIT has strict payment and enrolment deadlines. However, we also understand that exceptional cases may make it appropriate for a payment plan to be approved.

An official tax e-invoice will be issued and sent to students’ RMIT student email accounts before the Census Date of their enrolled courses, in accordance with the current tax and invoicing regulations. If any changes are made to enrolment that result in a fee adjustment, adjusted tax e-invoice(s) will be issued after the census date of the last enrolled course to reflect the student’s actual enrolment for the semester.

For more details, please visit Tax-invoices.

To request a tax e-invoice to be issued to a company, please submit a valid request form for VAT invoice issuance with corporate information to Finance and Accounting at least two weeks before the start of your semester or course.

For more details, please visit Tax-invoices.

Scholarship recipients are responsible for maintaining a full-time study load of:

• Undergraduate programs: at least 36 credit points per semester

• Postgraduate programs: at least 24 credit points per semester

Recipients of the RMIT Vietnam Opportunity Scholarship are required to maintain a study load of at least 24 credit points per semester.

In special circumstances, scholarship recipients may request approval to reduce their study load for a specific semester.

Requesting a reduced study load

If you need to reduce your study load, submit your request as early as possible, ideally before the semester starts, and no later than the course add/drop deadline, through the recommended channel below. Please provide:

• a study plan outlining the courses you intend to complete in each remaining semester of the academic year, including the credit points for each course; and

• supporting documents explaining the circumstances and reasons for requesting a reduced study load for the relevant semester.

Until your reduced study load request is formally approved, you must remain enrolled in the full-time study load required under your scholarship.
