Head to the ‘My Finances’ tab
If you have outstanding fees, the amount due will be listed under ‘Total Fees Payable’.
Once payment is deducted on your My Finances your account will show no outstanding transactions.
If there is a negative (-) amount listed, this means that your account is in credit. The credit amount will be allocated to your enrolment in the next study period.

JCU Brisbane does not have payment instalment plans. You can make numerous payments of fees up until the due date each trimester, but the last payment of total fees must be paid by the due date each trimester.
In October 2011, the Australian Parliament passed legislation allowing universities to charge a Student Services and Amenities Fee up to a maximum annual amount — for 2022, this amount is $315.
JCU introduced the SSA Fee from 1 January 2012, so as a JCU Brisbane student you are required to pay the fee. The income from the fee is used to improve university support services and facilities for students, both on and off campus.
If you have made a payment by card on campus it takes up to 2 working days to display in your ‘My Finances’.
Payments made from online transfer or overseas can sometimes take weeks to reach the JCU Brisbane account. If you are concerned about the payment not reflecting in your ‘My Finances’, please send a copy of the transaction receipt to finance@jcub.edu.au
JCU Brisbane does not charge a student when payment is received from an international bank. However, your bank may charge you a fee when making this transfer. Please ask your bank if there will be any transfer charges as this may leave you with an outstanding balance on ‘My Finances’.
JCU Brisbane offers Scholarship schemes to eligible students.
