How do I get a fee refund?
The University will only issue refunds where:
- The money to be refunded has been received and entered into the University's accounts;
- All other debts owing to the University (such as library fines or student loan fees) have been repaid; and
- The course or subject withdrawal has been processed where applicable.
The University will issue refunds:
- By Electronic Funds Transfer or telegraphic transfer; Payment will be made to the bank account specified on your refund request. Please ensure the details are correct as we can’t check that the account name matches the BSB and account number. Incorrect details may result in payment to the wrong account and loss of funds.
- If payment was made by credit card, refund will be paid back to that credit card where possible.
- In Australian dollars except where the international bank procedure states otherwise; and
- Within 10 - 15 working days of receipt of application for refund.
Please note: proof of identification is required if you can no longer access your University of Melbourne student email account. Non-current students must attach a certified copy of an identification document such as passport or Driver's Licence.
