Massey University Tuition Fees

Non-tuition fees are various administrative fees that are payable in addition to the tuition fees and sundry fees you pay for each course. All University fees are payable immediately upon the University issuing a Confirmation of Enrolment and before the start of study, or earlier if required by the University and specified in an Offer of Place. 



The list below can help you identify which fees apply to you and your chosen study. If you are a domestic student with StudyLink loan, it can also advise you which fees are not covered by StudyLink and therefore payable by you.

Note: These non-tuition fees apply to 2020 enrolments
