How it works
To get the 10% rebate, you must be eligible and studying an approved postgraduate coursework degree.
You pay the full fees to ACU as normal, and your faculty will credit your rebate back to you after you have successfully completed and received the results for your units studied each semester.
You must submit the payment request form prior to completing the unit(s) you wish to claim the rebate for. The rebate only applies to current and future enrolled units. You can't get the rebate retroactively.
The scheme is reviewed annually and is until further notice.
Your eligibility
You are eligible for the scheme if you are one of the following:
- domestic alumni from any faculty
- offshore alumni from one of ACU's antecedent organisations with a full degree from ACU
- ACU graduands - students confirmed as having their 'course complete' but who have not officially graduated at the time of commencing postgraduate study.
You are not eligible for the scheme if you are one of the following:
- international alumni
- receiving another scholarship, discount or bursary for the course in question.
If you received a scholarship, discount or bursary for your previous ACU degrees, you can still apply for the rebate.
