Fees and Fee Assistance

RTC tuition fees are set by the Australian College of Theology for all ACT accredited courses. However in order to make training at the RTC as affordable as possible, the RTC subsidises this fee. For full details of fees and subsidies, please contact the RTC office.

Commonwealth FEE-HELP Scheme

The Commonwealth Government FEE-HELP Scheme (FHS) for Private Higher Education Providers will continue in 2012. The FHS is a similar student loan scheme to the HECS-HELP Scheme for university students.

Under the FHS, upon application by an eligible student, tuition fees of subjects taken for credit will be paid for by the scheme, the same as for HECS-HELP. The student then accrues a debt with the ATO, to be repaid through the PAYG tax system upon employment.

The provision of FHS is separate from existing Centrelink Student Support Allowances, such as Austudy, Abstudy, Youth Allowance and Rent Assistance.
The FEE-HELP Information Booklet and Request for FEE-HELP Assistance (Application Form) are available from the College Administration Office.

Tuition Assurance

As an affliated college of the Australian College of Theology, the Reformed Theological College is a particiapant in the ACT's Tuition Assurance arrangements. This requirement is to protect a student in the event that the Australian College of Theology (or the Reformed Theological College) ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled. The meaning of 'ceasing to provide a course of study' is set out in the HEP Guidelines. The RTC complies with the policy of the Australian College of Theology in this matter.

Variation of Enrolment

(including Withdrawals and Refunding of Fees)
The RTC complies with the policy for Variation of Enrolment as provided by the Australian College of Theology.
All enquiries should be forwarded to the RTC's Registrar (Dr H DeWaard).
