Federation University Australia

Federation University Online courses are delivered fully online and are designed to support flexible study. Students typically have access to online learning platforms that include course materials, discussion forums, and recorded resources. Academic and support services may include online advisors, mentoring support, and a central student portal (often referred to as a Student Hub) for managing study-related activities.

Online study is designed to accommodate students with work or personal commitments. Course materials are generally accessible at any time, allowing students to study at their own pace within each teaching period.

There are typically no mandatory on-campus requirements or fixed class schedules. Some courses may offer optional live online sessions, often held in the evenings, to support learning. These sessions are usually recorded, so attendance is not compulsory.

Entry requirements vary depending on the course. These are outlined on the course information pages. Prospective students who are unsure about their eligibility can seek advice from course advisors or admissions teams to better understand their options based on prior study or work experience.

Tuition fees depend on the course and units selected, and may change over time. In addition to tuition, students are generally required to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

Eligible students may apply for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), which subsidises part of the tuition cost. Access to government loan schemes such as HECS-HELP or SA-HELP depends on individual eligibility and residency status. Payment deadlines apply for both upfront payments and loan arrangements, and students should check key dates such as census deadlines for their course.

Federation University Online courses are delivered remotely, so students can study from different locations. However, Commonwealth Supported Places are typically only available to eligible domestic students. Prospective students should confirm their eligibility based on residency status.

Yes. Online and on-campus degrees at Federation University have the same learning outcomes and lead to the same qualification. Graduates receive the same testamur (official graduation certificate), which does not indicate the mode of study.
