Paying Fees

Upfront Fees

International students are not require to pay any registration fees when submitting their application form. Once administration has received an application and all entry requirements have been met, an SAE Letter of Offer will be sent back along with an Admission Agreement.

When the Admission Agreement is signed and returned to SAE, a initial payment of $6600 of the tuition fee, as well as the health cover fee, will need to be made before an eCOE can be created for the student. The eCOE will be required for the visa process.

More information about the enrolment process is available on our How to Apply page.
