Example:

  1. Emma commences a Bachelor of Economics in 2009; where she enrols in eight units of equal weighting (0.125 EFTSL) comprising a standard full-time load (1.000 EFTSL). Emma enrols in six economics units and two arts units. Her student contribution amount (SCA) for 2009 is calculated as follows:

    (6 x 0.125 = 0.750 x $8,677 = $6,507) + (2 x 0.125 = 0.250 x $5,201 = $1,300) = $7,807
  2. John commenced a Bachelor of Economics in 2007; this year he enrols in eight units of equal weighting (0.125 EFTSL) comprising a standard full-time load (1.000 EFTSL). John enrols in six economics units and two arts units. His student contribution amount (SCA) for 2009 is calculated as follows:

    (6 x 0.125 = 0.750 x $7,412 = $5,559) + (2 x 0.125 = 0.250 x $5,201 = $1,300) = $6,859
