2027 Proposed Student Services Fee

The Student Services Fee is a non-tuition fee that is charged to students enrolled at Carey. The funds received by Carey from the fee can only be spent on student services. So, that means it’s entirely FOR students. But, we need to hear from you! Each year, we request student feedback on the Student Services Fee before it is finalised. This is in compliance with guidelines set out by the Tertiary Education Commission, but we also really care about what you have to say.

Take a look at the 2027 Proposed Student Services Fee, which outlines where the funds will be spent and heaps of other details.

Please review the document and provide feedback to Levi Dyer by Tuesday 6 October 2026.
You can also talk directly to Levi if you see him around campus.

It's time for a competition!
