The fees for each qualification are for a full-time, non-concessional student and use the course nominal hours as specified in the publicly available Western Australian Nominal Hours Guides.
Annual and semester fee caps have not been included in the calculations as their application is affected by the duration of the course, the date of course commencement, and whether the student is of compulsory school education age.
To estimate the 2013 fees for each qualification, fee rates have been derived from the 2013 fee structure and the actual fees based on a weighted average of all publicly funded courses. These fee rates are indicative only.
Fees for individual students may vary according to the units selected.
(g) College advertising is approved by the Government Communications Unit twice yearly. Advertising is not permitted outside of Government Communications Unit approvals.
Advertising relating to Collie Campus was approved in accordance with this process.
