How to apply for a refund

Revenue Services issues refunds for student accounts in credit.

If you are entitled to a refund:

  1. You need to apply in writing using the Request for refund of student fees form (Word)
  2. Forward an email request to student_fees@mq.edu.au or fax the above form to (+612) 9850 9351.

Refunds can be processed by cheques or direct deposits (to your saving/cheque account). For direct deposits please provide following details:

  • Account Name
  • Bank
  • Branch
  • BSB No
  • Account Number (not the keycard number).

All cheque refunds will be posted to the mailing address registered with the University.

International students please note:

International Students must apply to Macquarie International for Refunds.

Generally, refunds for international students will only be processed if a student is in the last semester of his/her study, or is withdrawing completely from his/her course, or given a special consideration.

If you are an international student who has a credit in your student account, but you are not completing your study in the current study period (a continuing student), you will not be eligible for a refund. The credit will remain in your student account and will be allocated towards tuition fees for future semesters. This includes credits from

  • Overpayment of fees in any study period, and
  • Withdrawal from one or more units after a payment has already been made.
