Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This statute establishes how the Australian National University (ANU) sets and collects fees from students.

Key points:

It empowers the University's Council to create rules about fees, including tuition fees and student contribution amounts (the portion of course costs paid under the Commonwealth's Higher Education Support Act 2003).
It authorises the Vice-Chancellor or Deputy Vice-Chancellor to determine the specific dollar amounts for these fees through Orders, provided they align with the Council's Rules.
It repeals and replaces the previous Fees Statute from 1999.

Who it affects:

ANU students paying tuition or Commonwealth-supported student contributions.
University administrators responsible for setting fee amounts.

Why it matters: This law provides the legal foundation for student fees at ANU, defining who has the authority to set prices and ensuring those decisions are made under proper governance.
