Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)
On 11 October 2011, the Australian Parliament passed legislation allowing universities and other higher education providers to charge a fee for student services and amenities of a non-academic nature. This fee is used to provide and enhance services on campus for the benefit of the student experience. Learn more about how SSAF funds are split here at UQU.
