When you view your Summary in My Finances, it may look like your fees are overdue even if you've submitted a valid Commonwealth Assistance Form (CAF).
If you've successfully submitted a CAF in the Student System, you can ignore the student contribution fees shown. These fees will stay listed until the University defers them to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) after the census date.
If you're studying combined degrees or have multiple course offers, you need to submit a Commonwealth Assistance Form (CAF) for each course you plan to study.
If the overdue fees are Student Amenities Fees, eligible students should ensure they've submitted a valid SA-HELP form. All other students must pay Student Amenities Fees upfront.
To check approved CAFs:
1. Access the Student System.
2. Go to My Overview.
3. Select Summary.
3. Your Commonwealth Assistance Forms and their status will display.
If the required CAFs are not listed, you should submit a new form(s) to defer tuition fees and student services and amenities fees.
For information about the different HELP loans, please visit.
Note that a CAF must be completed by the census date of a topic to allow fees for that topic to be deferred. If you need further information or assistance with completing your CAF, please submit an Ask Flinders request.
