Commissions

Commission for full degree students

An agent is considered to have recruited a student when all of the following apply:
  • the agent submits the student's application for admission and that application bears the agent's name
  • the agent submits an acceptance by the student of any letter of offer from us for a place in a Western Sydney University course
  • the agent submits written verification that the student has paid the course fee.
We will pay commission for each student who:
  • has been recruited by the representative in compliance with the Western Sydney University and The College Agent Agreement
  • is enrolled in a course at Western after census date for each session
  • has remained continuously enrolled in that course at Western for a period exceeding four weeks
  • has paid the respective course fee and any other required fees to us
We will not pay a commission if a student recruited by the agent at any time undertakes a course offered by Western Sydney University other than those specifically identified in the application for enrolment and for which the student was first recruited by the agent.

Commission details for each student will be loaded into StudyLink and sent to each Agent for verification after census date for each session.
    An agent must log into StudyLink to review commission details sent by Western Sydney University. Once reviewed, an agent can view the commission details and approve.
