If you are successful in receiving a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), the “student contribution” you pay as part of the total fees for your course is significantly reduced. You may also qualify for a further reduction in your student contribution if you are accepted into one of AC’s Teaching Hub programs. Note, if you qualify for FEE-HELP, this can be used to defer your payment of your student contributions.
Alphacrucis (AC) University College has been allocated a number of Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) for 2023-2025 that can be applied to students commencing our Bachelor of Education courses. These courses include:
These CSPs are intended to create more opportunities for students from under-represented groups to access higher education and enter the teaching profession, including those first in family to receive higher education, those from regional and remote areas, those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, people with a disability, and First Nations people.
The student contribution (what you pay) is as follows and depends on what you qualify for regarding CSPs, AC Scholarships, and Teaching Schools Hubs Scholarships.
Whilst the student contributions are the fees you pay for your course, please note that if you also qualify for FEE-HELP, this can be used to defer your payment of your student contributions.
Student contribution – Full Amount
If paying the full amount (No CSP): $2,300 per subject.
Student contribution – After CSP applied
If you qualify for a CSP: $578 per subject.
Note: If you don’t qualify for a CSP, you may be awarded an AC Education Scholarship instead. Scholarships will only be considered for those who do not qualify for a CSP.
Student contribution – Education Scholarship / without CSP
If you do not qualify for a CSP but are completing high school (or recent leaver, aged 20 or under), can demonstrate Christian Leadership or Academic Aptitude, and intend to study full-time, you may qualify for a scholarship which would reduce the fees further. Talk to us to find out if you qualify.
Teaching Schools Hub Scholarship
If you qualify for study through one of the AC Teaching Schools Hubs, the hub will typically provide a scholarship to cover part of your student contribution amount. Once you are offered a place at an AC Teaching School Hub, the hub will confirm the final student contribution. Below are two examples of how this subsidy could apply.
Example Calculation: CSP with Hub Scholarship
If you were successful in applying for a CSP as well as a Hub Scholarship, your student contribution fee would be:
$578 minus Hub Scholarship = your actual student contribution/fee per subject.
Example Calculation: AC Scholarship with Hub Scholarship
If you do not qualify for a CSP but are instead awarded an AC scholarship as well as a Hub Scholarship, your student contribution fee would be:
$2,3000 minus Hub Scholarship = your actual student contribution/fee per subject.
To apply to study with AC without applying for a Teaching Schools Hub, you can do so through our Apply Now page.
To apply to study with AC through a Teaching Schools Hub, you should do this by concurrently applying with the Hub(s) you are interested in (see list below) as well as AC through our Apply Now page. For more details about how to apply, see our webpage here.
Current Teaching Schools Hubs to apply for:
You will need to be considered a 'domestic student' and apply for full-time study.
You must also meet at least ONE of the following criteria. These criteria are set by the Australian government.
Eligibility will be assessed based on information provided in your application form and throughout the application process. Below is the eligibility criteria (along with corresponding application data) used to determine your eligibility.
*This map is not created or supported by AC. It is for guidance only in understanding your eligibility based on location and does not guarantee or indicate your success in receiving a CSP. For more information, please contact the Future Students team.
If you don’t qualify for a CSP you will be automatically considered for an AC scholarship as part of your application.
You can learn more about the Hub model in this brochure that outlines the model and the benefits it provides.
Placements in our hubs are highly competitive and limited. If you’re not successful in joining one of our Hubs, you can still study an education degree with AC. You will receive AC’s unique benefits of a highly practical course that also integrates a faith-based worldview into the content and teaching, with all the required placements in schools, but you will not necessarily be placed in a school throughout your course as outlined in the Hub Model brochure. You can talk to our Future Students team about the differences and what might suit you best.
If for some reason you need to reduce your hours or defer your study, this should first be discussed with your Program Director and if you are in a Hub, also discussed with your school. AC will work towards the best outcome with you for this, but please note this may impact any CSP contribution for your course.
You can talk to our Future Students team to find out more about all of AC’s education courses, including the Bachelor of Education, Master of Teaching, Certificates in Teacher Preparation, as well as Leadership and PhD programs for school leaders and principals. The team can also help with how to apply and further questions about CSPs and fee structure.
