If you don't pay your student contribution amount or tuition fees by the payment due date, you will incur an outstanding debt.
Note: International students - It is the University's policy and part of your visa conditions that your tuition fees are paid by the due date. If you fail to pay your fees by the due date your enrolment will be cancelled and the Department of Home Affairs notified.
