• $108.00 for full-time students* (FT = study load of 20 credit points and above)

Liability for the SSAF is based on enrolled study load at each trimester’s census date.
The amount you pay will depend on your enrolled study load at each census date.
The SSAF is a compulsory charge for all students enrolled at SAE.
The payment date or the date that the debt is incurred for SSAF is on census date, however cannot be earlier than the last dates students are able to enrol in a course.
