Domestic student payment options

Make sure you allow plenty of time for your payment to be processed by the due date. Your payment due date is printed on your fees invoice. If you don't pay in full by the due date, you risk losing your place in class and AUT may suspend your access to university services.

There are many ways you can pay your domestic student fees at AUT.

If your tuition fees are sponsored by an external scholarship, trust fund, employer or other third party, you should send them your fees statement/invoice.

If your sponsor or employer would like a tax invoice in the organisation's name, they will need to provide a purchase order number or a financial guarantee letter with the following information:

  • Company legal name
  • Company address
  • Company contact person (full name, title, email, phone number)
  • Purchase order number or financial guarantee letter
  • Amount to be invoiced

If your sponsor is unable to provide the information for the tax invoice, your fees statement/invoice will be addressed to you (student) and you are responsible for ensuring your fees are paid by the due date.

Please send the completed purchase order to feesandenrolments@aut.ac.nz
