You can view your fees on your fee statements. Access these on my.unimelb. Go to Student admin > Fees > Access fee statements or Access my Student Invoice.
Three main statements are available:
- Statement of Liability: Shows your unpaid fees for the calendar year.
- Student Invoice: Shows the fees you owe for the current billing period as at the issue date.
- Fee Account Statement: Records all fee transactions, including payments and charges.
After enrolling in subjects, view your Statement of Liability in my.unimelb to check your fees and upcoming payment due dates. You can generate it at any time. It updates immediately when your enrolment changes.

If you withdraw from or swap a subject before its census date, the fees for the withdrawn subject are cancelled. Any fees you’ve already paid will be credited to your student account and appear on your Fee Account Statement. If you have other fees due, the credit will be used towards them. Otherwise, you can keep the credit for future fees or apply for a refund.
After the census date, you remain responsible for those fees and payments already made will not be refunded.
Check your subject’s census date before changing your enrolment.

Deferral conditions vary from scholarship to scholarship and are usually stated on your scholarship offer.
If you hold a major coursework scholarship (starting with ‘Melbourne’ in the scholarship title), you're able to defer your scholarship offer to the following year. This is done automatically when you defer your course offer.
If you hold a Melbourne Research Scholarship or Research Training Program Scholarship, your scholarship can only be deferred with prior approval from your faculty.
If you're still unsure if you can defer your offer, please submit a scholarships enquiry.
