Policies and Services

Affordable Fees

A core commitment of Sheridan is to reduce financial barriers to quality higher education. This includes affordable tuition.

For this reason, tuition fees paid by students are only applied to teaching and administration costs and are not redirected to cross-subsidise Sheridan research projects.

As a result of this policy, Sheridan can deliver Bachelor and Master courses at a standard tuition rate lower than the rates charged by public universities.

Sheridan Tuition (All UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE Courses)

Tuition finance options

Domestic students, can opt for a tuition finance scheme managed by Australian Baptist Education Inc. (ABE), Sheridan parent not-for-profit association. Like HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP, ABE loans are indexed to inflation. Loan repayments commence immediately after the completion of your course. The maximum loan duration is 10 years. Ask the Registrar for more information.

International students

International students are, required to pay an initial deposit equivalent to one semester's fees for enrolment. Subsequently, each semester’s fees must be paid in full prior to the start of each semester.

Baptist high school graduates – tuition-free pathway

Did you graduate from a Baptist high school in WA?

Each year, Sheridan reserves several tuition-free placements for graduates of Baptist secondary schools. Baptist graduates can complete any undergraduate or postgraduate degree offered at Sheridan and have no student debt at the end of their degree. You will only be asked to cover the costs of textbooks and field trips.

Why?

Sheridan was established as a direct result of support received from members of the Baptist education community. Sheridan wishes to recognise this support and to acknowledge the trust that families have place in the Baptist network of schools and colleges over many years.

This offer is extended to Year 12 graduates of any Baptist secondary school, past or present, in WA.

Admission Criteria

Sheridan’s application process is personal.

All prospective students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate, domestic or international, will be interviewed in person by the Sheridan admissions team. If you are applying from offshore, the interview will take place by phone or video interview. The admissions team make a final determination as to whether you will be offered a place in one of Sheridan’s courses only after the interview.

In addition to a successful interview, the following minimum admissions criteria must be met.

Domestic School Leavers

Completion of WACE and either achieving a minimum ATAR of 70 or completing a Certificate IV at a vocational training college in a subject relevant to the course you would like to take at Sheridan.

Sheridan welcomes early applications from students in Grades 9-12 who wish to secure a conditional place for one or more of Sheridan's courses while still at high school. If your personal goals change later in high school and you decide not to attend Sheridan, just let us know and we’ll open up your saved place to the next student on the waiting list.

Domestic Mature Age Students

Alternative entry

If you are at least 19 years of age and do not qualify for admission on the basis of formal educational attainment, you can apply via the alternative entry pathway which is based on an assessment of your employment experience, personal competencies and other qualifications.
