Current students
Online invoices provide students with a fast and convenient method for both viewing and paying fees from a single point within StudentConnect and is of particular benefit to those students living in remote areas within Australia and overseas, where the inherent delays in receiving postal mail may cause problems. Deakin does not provide paper invoices.
If you are a Commonwealth supported student you should generate your online invoice even if you are choosing to defer the debt to HECS-HELP. This enables you to check the accuracy of your enrolment and the amount to be deferred. Eligible students may apply for FEE-HELP to assist with their fees. A loan fee of 20% applies to FEE-HELP loans for undergraduate courses/units. To apply for FEE-HELP you must complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) via StudentConnect.
To access your online Invoice go to the ‘Current Invoice’ link under the 'Fees and Payments' heading on the sidebar menu in StudentConnect
A PDF version of the invoice can also be viewed and printed if required. To access click on the ‘Print Friendly Version' button located at the bottom of your invoice.
It is the students responsibility to visit StudentConnect to access their invoice and to ensure that all financial obligations to the University are met by the prescribed deadlines.
Your enrolment details and fee assessment for the current trimester are shown on your invoice. You should always carefully check the details to ensure they are correct. If you are unsure of the terminology used, Tool Tips are also provided - just hover your mouse over the text and a brief explanation will appear. You can also view an interactive demonstration (flash-128kb) to help you understand your invoice.
All invoices have a due date for payment. It is very important that payment is made by this date to avoid your enrolment being encumbered and/or terminated and subsequent loss of access to critical services such as IT access, DSO, Library, email and StudentConnect.
Your invoice has important information about your enrolment and fee liability. Below is a quick reference guide to help you understand all the details on your invoice.

Once you have made a change to your enrolment you must go to the 'Fees and Payments' link on the sidebar menu in StudentConnect and select 'Current Invoice'. A new invoice will be generated which reflects the changes (if any) to your fees.
Please be patient. The application is calculating your fees to give you the most up-to-date fee data. This may take a few minutes, especially in peak periods.
Please try again. If you still get the blank screen contact Customer Service.
Online Invoices may not be available yet. Check the dates on StudentConnect and make sure you are enrolled in the current trimester. You can do this by clicking on 'Course/Unit inquiry' on the sidebar menu. If you believe there is a problem contact Customer Service.
The application may have timed out. Please try again. If it still doesn't work contact Customer Service.
Make sure you are looking at the current trimester and are enrolled correctly. You can do this by clicking on 'Course/Unit inquiry' on the sidebar menu. If you believe there is a problem contact Customer Service.
Allow 3-4 working days for payments to be processed. If the payment is not appearing after this time please contact Customer Service.
The past invoice option gives you a copy of the last invoice generated for the trimester selected. Check the Date of Issue in the top left hand corner and you will see that it is a reprint of a past invoice that you will have already received. If you have paid the amount owing it will not be reflected in that invoice. You will know your record is correct if you do not have a balance carried forward on your current invoice.
This means you have generated an invoice today but have overdue fees. These fees should be paid immediately to avoid your enrolment with the University being encumbered or terminated.
The past invoice option gives you a copy of the last invoice generated for the trimester selected. If you check the Date of Issue that is in the top left hand corner it should be a date prior to the date you withdrew from the unit.
Past invoices are only available where you have actually generated an invoice for a previous trimester. If you can't see a trimester option in the dropdown list and you were enrolled in that trimester it is likely you didn't owe anything at that time. This will be because either you are a deferred HECS student, paid your fees early or had sufficient credit balance to cover your debt. If you still feel there is a problem call Customer Service.
This is because you do not owe any fees as you have just withdrawn from all your units.
Have you changed your address online recently? It is likely that you have the ampersand character (&) or a quote character (‘) somewhere in your address. If you remove these you should be able to generate the print friendly version of your invoice. If this is not the case contact Customer Service.
More detailed information on fee rates for domestic and international students can be found on the Fees page.
