Undergraduates

According to government website StudyAssist, the student contribution to a commonwealth-supported 8cp subject in theology will be $1,828 in 2022. Increases are usually indexed annually by the university.

Postgraduates

Note that all prices below are for an 8 credit point (cp) subject. Many postgraduate subjects are 16cp each (and therefore double this cost), and some are 32cp (and therefore quadruple this cost). Refer to the online course brochures on the CSU website for details of subject weightings and course structure.

Charles Sturt awaits the outcome of parliamentary deliberation before it can confirm which postgraduate subjects, if any, will include CSPs.

St Mark’s offers payment plans to assist students to manage the cost of study. The payment plan involves payment of a $500 deposit on or before the census date, and an agreement to make regular payments to complete the balance of fee payment by the last day of the semester.
Students may enter into a payment plan on a semester basis, in which case the final payment must be made prior to the last day of that semester. Alternatively, students may enter into a payment plan for a full year i.e. two semesters where the last payment will need to be made prior to the last day of the second semester.

St Mark’s reserves the right to disallow continuation in a course if fees are outstanding beyond the end of each semester of study. St Mark’s will not issue awards where fees are outstanding.
