The Tertiary Preparation Program is a Uni Ready FEE-FREE course!
This means you’ll be studying in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), and the Australian Government pays your course fees directly to UQ College. You won't be charged any tuition fees for this course.
Census Date is the deadline for finalising your enrolment. To keep your FEE-FREE place, you must submit your electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) by this date.

Make sure your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is verified.

After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a copy of your completed eCAF.
You can also confirm your submission in mySI-net.
Go to the FFUR page.

It may take 1–2 hours to show as ‘Submitted’, so feel free to refresh.
