Yes, you don't necessarily have to pay the whole semester all at once — Monash offers an official **Tuition Fee Instalment Payment Plan** [1]. Here is how it works: ### 1. Payment Schedule Tuition fees are split across **3 instalments** per semester [1][2]: - **1st Instalment (50% of tuition fee + general fees):** Due in Month 1 (e.g., 10 March for Sem 1 / 10 August for Sem 2 / 10 November for Oct intake) [2] - **2nd Instalment (25% of tuition fee):** Due in Month 2 (e.g., 10 April / 10 September / 10 December) [2] - **3rd Instalment (25% of tuition fee):** Due in Month 3 (e.g., 10 May / 10 October / 10 January) [2] ### 2. Key Conditions - **Eligible Fees:** It applies to tuition fees only. General fees (like registration and amenities fees) cannot be split and must be paid in full with your first instalment [1]. - **Admin Fee:** An administration fee of **RM 100** (+6% SST for non-Malaysian students) applies to each instalment payment [1]. - **Timeliness:** Missing an instalment deadline incurs a RM 100 late payment fee and an encumbrance on your student account (blocking access to results/enrolment) [1]. ### 3. How to Apply You can submit your application online through the student forms portal once your student account is set up [1]. If you're facing extenuating financial circumstances, you can also reach out to the Finance Helpdesk to discuss a customised payment extension plan [2]. Would you like more details on how to apply, or info on other options like EPF withdrawal or PTPTN loans?

It can definitely be stressful waiting on scholarship results while fee deadlines are approaching. Here is how that works and what you should do: ### 1. How Scholarships & Waivers Appear on Your Account Tuition fee waivers (TFW), scholarships, and bursaries are officially applied and updated on your Fee Statement **after the semester census date** (e.g., 31 March for Semester 1) [1][2]. ### 2. What to Do Before the Due Date - **If you already have official confirmation of your scholarship amount:** You can self-calculate, deduct the approved waiver amount from your total tuition fee, and pay the remaining net balance by the due date [1][2]. - **If you are still waiting on the outcome:** Because unconfirmed scholarships are not yet applied to your account, you are still expected to meet the payment due date to avoid late payment fees (RM 100) and encumbrances [3]. ### 3. What Happens Once the Scholarship is Awarded Once your scholarship is approved and applied after the census date [1]: - Any excess fees you paid upfront will show as a credit (a negative balance in brackets) on your Fee Statement [1]. - This excess balance will automatically carry forward to offset future semesters, or you can request a refund if your degree is fully completed or fully covered [1][4]. ### 4. What If You Can't Pay Upfront While Waiting? If paying the full semester fee upfront isn't feasible while waiting for the decision, reach out to the **Finance Helpdesk** at least one week before the payment due date [3]. You can explain your pending scholarship application and request a temporary payment extension or set up an instalment plan so your enrolment isn't encumbered [3]. Does that give you a clear path forward, or would you like help reaching the helpdesk?
