Financial Problems

As a student, studying at University is often quite a costly journey.
If your finances are causing an added stress to your studies;
make sure you seek assistance in working through this tough time.

You may be facing some of the following problems:

• Getting behind in rent or residence fees
• Having your rate of Youth Allowance/Austudy/Abstudy reduced
• Your parents are no longer able to support you
• Bills piling up that you can’t afford to pay

Talk it over first…

As financial problems are never solved easily; it is often good to get
an outside perspective. MUGSU’s student rights officers and Health,
Wellbeing and Development can help you list your options and offer
advice on finances, budgeting, loan applications and careers and employment.

Some of the people you can talk to:

• SOS!! - Student Rights
• Financial Advisor
• Student Services (Main Reception)
• Monash Residential Services
