The SSAF is a compulsory fee that helps fund non-academic services at Flinders University — things like student support, wellbeing, and campus amenities.
Who pays SSAF?
All students are required to SSAF, with fees charged in proportion to enrolment an capped annually. Student studying externally or distance pay a reduced rate.
Can I defer the fee?
Australian citizens and students with a permanent humanitarian visa can apply for a SA-HELP loan to defer payment. You can apply via the Student System under the My Study tile. Australian permanent residents and most New Zealand citizens must pay upfront. However, some New Zealand citizens may be eligible to defer — see the Study Assist website for details.
How is SSAF used?
Student consultation helps guide how SSAF income is allocated to improve services. You can review how funds are distributed on the SSAF allocation page. To check your fee amount, refer to the SSAF schedule.
