Make a student contribution payment

You can pay your Student Contributions through eStudent via credit card (Visa or Mastercard). You can identify your Student Contributions by census dates and the course you are enrolled in.

If you are not eligible for HECS-HELP Assistance you must make FULL payment by the relevant Payment Due Date or your enrolment may be cancelled. You must finalise all matters relating to your enrolment by the subject census date.
To determine if you are eligible to defer your fees please read the information on Commonwealth Assistance.

Credit card payments in eStudent can be used for specific fees and charges or to pay your entire debt. These payments are made through the SecurePay gateway. The minimum acceptable payment is $10 and the maximum is $20,000.If you chose personal email you MUST have previously recorded a personal email address in eStudent via Email Details. You will not receive a Payment Notification Advice if this hasn’t been completed. We recommend you use your JCU email for this.

  • After submitting your payment you need to confirm that the payment details are correct by selecting Confirm Payment button
