Application Fee information

How much are the Application Fees and when are they charged?
Application fees are charged differently depending on the nature of the application. At this point, international applicants are not charged application fees if they are applying:
  • through a registered Agent
  • under an Articulation Agreement with partner institutions
  • through Study Abroad Agreements
  • as NZ Aid Scholarship applicants.
 
Application fees are non-refundable and only charged once, regardless of the number of applications, and the outcome of your applications, for the same semester. For example, if you applied for Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Health Sciences in Semester One, you would only have to pay one application fee.
 
The fees may be charged a second time for applications to subsequent semesters. For example, when assessment of new qualifications completed outside of the University of Auckland is required.
 
Please be aware that when you Apply to Study and tick the declaration, you are agreeing to pay any application fees incurred. For more information, see Applicant Declaration.
 
You should only pay a fee once it has been charged. Please note, fees are posted to your account at the time of assessment and displayed in your account as due. Invoices are not sent out by email or post.
