Applying for course-related costs
16 March 2010
If you have applied for your Student Loan you can apply for your course-related costs.
You don't need to submit a new Student Loan application each time you wish to apply for your course-related costs during the study year.
The quickest and easiest way to apply for your course-related costs is online using MyStudyLink.
Using MyStudyLink you're able to:
- apply for course-related costs
- view the status of your course-related costs applications including payment date.
You can borrow up to $1,000 per loan account (usually a 52 week period) for course-related costs. You don't have to claim all your costs at once. You can claim the balance at any time up until your course finishes.
Please note - when you apply online for your Student Loan, you will be asked if you want to apply for course-related costs. Selecting course-related costs indicates that you wish to have them included as part of your Student Loan; this is not an application for your course-related costs. You still need to apply online at MyStudyLink for your course-related costs, once your Student Loan contract has been accepted by StudyLink.
To apply for your course-related costs online log into your MyStudyLink account and click on Apply online - Student Loan course-related costs - Apply for course-related costs.
