While you may be able to defer your course, it is not guaranteed that your existing partner scholarship will be available at your new start date. Please note that if you defer your course, you will be doing so at the risk of losing or having a different partner scholarship for your future studies. You may also need to reapply for your partner scholarship for your new commencement date.
If your employer changes throughout your studies, you’ll need to submit a new Health Partner Employee Declaration form with your updated employer details.
Please note, this may change the partner scholarship that you’re eligible for, and we may need to amend your fees to reflect this change.
Once you’ve submitted your Heath Partner Declaration form, your partner scholarship will be applied to your student account within 7-10 business days. You’ll receive an email once this happens and will be asked to log into eStudent to view the balance of your fees left owing and make payment (if applicable). Your fees invoice will show you the standard tuition price for each unit and then the scholarship amount offset against this. If you can’t see that your scholarship has been applied, email us at U.Connect@utas.edu.au and we’ll investigate for you.
