Client Tuition Fee (Victoria)

This information has been extracted from Victorian VET Student Statistical Collection Guidelines - 2012 July (Version 1.5).

The Client Tuition Fee is the amount of a tuition fee and/or administration charge that a client has been charged at enrolment. Its purpose is to provide a mechanism for reporting Student Tuition Fee for government subsidised training activity to support tuition fee contribution calculations and tuition fee monitoring.

This field is mandatory for all government subsidised training activity reported from 2013. It may be reported in submissions made to SVTS during the 2012 collection year.

1. For units for which training and assessment (including Recognition of Prior Learning) is being delivered (i.e. not units which are being recognised under Recognition of Current Competency (RCC) or Credit Transfer arrangements):
   • For students who are not eligible for student tuition fee concession rates, fee exemptions or fee waivers:

   Report the actual hourly rate (in cents) that the student was charged as their student tuition fee for their enrolment in the unit of competency/module.

   All units for the course in which the student enrolled in at that time should be charged and reported with the same hourly rate.

   For example, report an hourly rate of $3.30 as 0330

   • For students who are eligible for student tuition fee concession rates:

   Report the actual hourly rate (in cents) that the student was charged as their student tuition fee for their enrolment in the unit of competency/module, being 20 per cent of the standard hourly tuition fee as published at the time of enrolment.

   All units for the course in which the student enrolled at that time should be charged and reported with the same hourly rate.

   For example, report an hourly rate of $0.66 as 0066

   • For students who are eligible for student tuition fee exemptions or fee waivers:

   Report the actual hourly rate (in cents) that the student was charged as their student tuition fee for their enrolment in the unit of competency/module, being $0.00.

   For example, report an hourly rate of $0.00 as 0000

2. For enrolments being recognised under RCC or Credit Transfer arrangements:

This field may be blank in data submissions made for the 2012 collection year.
